  1. Research QuestionsJoan Zenan, Jocelyn Rankin Public Health Outreach Forum National Library of MedicineLister Hill Auditorium Bethesda, Maryland

  2. Research Questions/Issues • Linking My Library and Infinet - define scope and how it transacts needed info (e.g., e coli) • need to segment needs by work group • how might this help to structure design of services/training • Document delivery to ASTHO member organizations - do we know how many have doc delivery partners? Who are they? What is level of demand?

  3. Research Questions/Issues • Fulltext on web - does anyone include the state libraries in license negotiations? • “White” on HAN maps - how do we fill the data gaps? Is an information infrastructure needs inventory needed? • What’s the role of AHECs in collaborating with SHDs? • What’s the role of IAIMS?

  4. Research Questions/Issues • How to deal with issue of turnover? • Need for standardization of data collection instruments? • What literature outside traditional literature is needed? How to provide access? Look at HIV model. • MEDLINE literature may be too clinical. Maybe expand MEDLINEplus materials instead? • Need studies on info seeking behaviors in disparate PH professionals

  5. Research Questions/Issues • Do we know how much PH literature is available online? Status of e-publishing in PH? • Do we have techniques for finding evidence-based answers in PH? • Effective ways for PH pros to learn - classroom vs. other training delivery mecahnisms?

  6. Research Questions/Issues • Training requirements for workgroups - how do we define a workgroup? Self-defining is a mixed bag - classifying by job description may miss groups. • Comparative study of self-empowerment training vs. full-service model • Halo effect of follow-up to training - does training impact practice, effectiveness?

  7. Research Questions/Issues • How the public perceives PH - role for collaborations in researching this • PH “branding” initiative • Turning Point’s social marketing collaborative • HRSA’s PH Training Centers - needs assessments of PH workers might be data source • Training of librarians for PH roles - need for train the trainers, shadowing, mentoring

  8. Research Questions/Issues • Need for collective multi-site evaluations to assess cumulative effects • Measuring info seeking behavior - utility of pre-class and post-class survey (immediate and months later) • Similar issues will be raised at the PH Informatics AMIA Spring Congress (see next slide)

  9. 4. PHI Research Agenda Topics(from Bill Yasnoff) • Data Collection, Management, & Quality • Evaluation • Integration of Data • Data and Information Dissemination • Confidentiality • Automated Decision Support • Policy • Collaboration • Training
