Nevada's Academic-Practice Collaboration: Public Health Preparedness Possibilities outside an Academic Center

Abstract: The Nevada State Health Division developed a local academic-practice partnership with the University of Nevada Reno's Master of Public Health Program to assess the bioterrorism risk communication, information, response, and training needs of professional and public stakeholder groups throughout Nevada. Between October 16, 2002, and April 13, 2004, 22 needs assessment focus groups and 125 key informant interviews were conducted to gather information on the diverse needs of the stakeholders. The themes that emer… Show more

“…A terrorism crisis involving CBRN materials is often not observable and has delayed effects (Sheppard, ). The detection of the substances in question may also take time (Clements‐Nolle, Ballard‐Reisch, Todd, & Jenkins, ). Consequently, scientific uncertainty results in delays in information release, as was shown in an interview study of the anthrax crisis in 2001 (Robinson & Newstetter, ), and causes ambiguity in the advice provided initially (Sheppard, ).…”

“…An extensive search for published literature on information practice and disaster preparedness returned a small number of research studies on aspects of information practice in disaster preparedness. (Clements‐Nolle, Ballard‐Reisch, Todd, & Jenkins, 2005; Turoff & Hiltz, 2008) Most studies found discussed information in either the pre‐disaster, (Macintosh‐Murray & Choo, 2002) or the disaster response phases. (Drabek & McEntire, 2002) Others discuss the information needs of a single profession without discussing inter‐professional information practice.…”

“…Although these collaborative activities are wide-ranging (emergency preparedness, 3,4 disease prevention and control, [5][6][7][8] reducing health disparities, 9 hospices, 10 minority health, 11 minority workforce recruitment, 12,13 rural health, 14,15 maternal and child health, 16 environmental health, 17,18 education, research, and service, [19][20][21][22][23] and so on), they do not provide a holistic or systems view of academic institution-public health agency (academic-agency) partnerships. Most assessments of these relationships have been conducted by public health academic institutions and primarily reflect the faculties' own reports of success, [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] as do recent assessments involving schools of nursing [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] and medicine.…”
