Hosted by the Academic Practice-based Research Section (APBR)

The APBR Section provides a forum through which researchers (including students) and practitioners statewide can interact and work together to improve population health. The NCPHA Fall Educational Conference presents a venue through which to share our knowledge and experience to improve public health systems and services. The APBR Section invites you to submit an abstract for presentation this fall. Presenting is an opportunity to share your work and learn from others using the skills of research, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation in public health practice.

Are you working in a local health department or other applied public health setting? Or, are you an academic public health investigator with insights to share from public health research and evaluation? We need to hear from YOU!

We encourage submissions that focus on the following areas:

1) Public health practice-based evaluation and research. Includes but is not limited to the development, implementation, adaptation and/or evaluation of evidence-based interventions or best practices in an applied setting; or interventions that have been developed as a result of community-based work, such as focus groups, surveys, and collaborations.

2) Public health services and systems research. This area focuses broadly on improving the public health system, including delivery of services, information or technology used in the system, enhancing financing or the economics of local public health or workforce dynamics.

3) Emerging issues in public health practice. This focus area is on current issues in North Carolina public health. This may include, recent legislative or other policy changes and their impact, as well as new initiatives or health services programs, or other topics of interest to public health professionals.
