The recent Gulf Coast hurricanes once again brought to light the importance of having a strong public health system. With support from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, AcademyHealth will host two interactive audioconferences that address the use of accreditation measures and evidence-based research in developing an effective public health system. These 90-minute audioconferences bring together leading experts in public health systems research to discuss:
"Accreditation of Public Health Agencies: Lessons from Three States"
December 7, 2005, 2:00 p.m. ET
"The Guide to Community Preventive Services: Developing an Evidence Base for Public Health."
January 11, 2006, 2:00 p.m. ET
