A Study of Nebraska's Local Public Health Agency Model In 2008, the College of Public Health at the University of Nebraska Medical Center was awarded a two-year grant through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to assess the benefit, challenges, and performance of Nebraska's regional public health agency model. This project consisted of three research aims, each exploring unique elements of a regional public health agency model and the impact of such a model on the performance of core public health functions. AIM 1 Assess various aspects of the structural capacity as well as the political and social environment of local health departments (LHDs) in Nebraska and examine the relationship between county composition and the performance of core public health functions for regional LHDs in Nebraska.
Research Findings
AIM 2 Examine issues related to community partnerships in the context of regional LHDs.
Research Highlights
