  2. What Do We Mean By Public Health Practice? • Work lead by local, state and federal health departments • Work on public health systems for guidance • Professional development and training programs for practitioners

  3. Why Should We Promote This Work? • Need real life published models for the future of public health • Research cannot be solely for research sake • Promoting practice in the journal is not new, but criteria needs to better developed for reviewing and evaluating the work • We can learn what works and what doesn’t so that time, money and effort will be saved

  4. What Are Barriers Towards This Work? • Practice changes constantly, hard to standardize this effort • Discovering ways to engage the public in the work • Diminished resources and competing demands • Limited to no time or support and encouragement to write, no luxury for reflection

  5. What is Needed To Enhance & Support The Work? • Journals need many more formats for practice articles • Funders need to allow time in grant periods to allow for syntheses of experiences positive and negative in real time-along with time for real dissemination of results • New guidelines need to be developed for reviewers so practitioners can be encouraged to submit rather than discouraged

  6. What are Suggested Guidelines for Practice Papers • Name of program • Initiating • Guiding principles • Theory/conceptual framework • Sponsoring agencies/organizations • Funding • Key actors/roles

  7. What are Suggested Guidelines for Practice Papers (cont.) • Goals and objectives • Needs assessment • Target audience • Interventions • Evaluation • Critique: so what?
