A systems approach to public health workforce development.

During the 1990s, several distinct but interrelated efforts to strengthen the public health infrastructure were launched. Defining public health work in terms of core functions and essential services, these efforts focused on the competence of the workforce and the performance of public health agencies. The systems approach offered here highlights the relationships and interdependencies among these three components of public health practice: (1) the work, (2) the worker, and (3) the work setting. The model suggests that advances in public health workforce development may require major public health organizational development efforts.

Public health workforce information: a state-level study.

A two-stage sample survey was used to estimate the size of Texas' professional public health workforce and to describe its composition in terms of employment settings, job characteristics, and individual characteristics. The estimated 17,700 public health professionals employed in 1995 represented approximately three percent of the state's total health workforce. About 55 percent of all these professionals worked in agencies that provide population-based public health services. An estimated seven percent had formal public health education. These findings raise issues concerning the numerical adequacy of the state's supply of public health professionals, the adequacy of their educational preparation, and the human resources capacity of the state's official public health agencies.

Mortality in the slave and white populations of Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, 1850.

A review of mortality from the 1850 census mortality schedules of Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana has provided a snapshot of the health conditions of African-American slaves. The cause of death was abstracted from the mortality schedule and categorized according to the ninth revision of the Manual of the International Classification of Diseases. Children under the age of 9 accounted for 44% of the total mortality. Sixty-four percent of all deaths recorded occurred in the slave population. Sixty-two percent of the slave deaths occurred in the male population. Leading causes of death were helminthiasis, whooping cough, fever, cholera, and pneumonia. Reports of mortality due to Cachexia Africana (dirt eating) among slaves are discussed.

Determining the costs of self-study for accreditation: a method and a rationale.

Current economic conditions have produced a resurgence of concern among health professions educational institutions about the costs of accreditation. Cost issues cannot be satisfactorily addressed until appropriate methods of cost determination are established and widely applied. This report describes a methodology which was successfully applied in one school and may serve as a model for other institutions and programs.
