Community Health Assessment webcast now available on Center website:In 2007, the Center for Public Health Practice in collaboration with the Center for Healthy Communities at Wright State University assisted local public health agencies in planning their community health assessments. Technical assistance and training were provided to those agencies receiving Child and Family Health Services grant funding under a contract from the Ohio Department of Health. The purpose of this project was to help these agencies plan their community health assessment efforts. The webcast was one outcome of this project. It presents 10 essential elements for conducting a successful community health assessment. Content is taken from public health literature and best practices in Ohio. The webcast “What You Need to Know NOW for a Successful Community Health Assessment” is now available on the web in Real Player format at http://cph.osu.edu/practice/projectarchive/index.cfm.

New core competencies under development for public health preparedness and response workforce: As Mandated by the 2006 Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act (PAHPA), a new set of core competencies for the public health preparedness and response workforce is currently under development. The process to identify these competencies is being coordinated by the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH). ASPH and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are engaging a broad cross section of experts from across the nation to participate in this process. The final competency model will build upon existing work in the emergency preparedness and response field and will provide a proposed national standard of skills that are needed for the public health workforce in all-hazards preparedness and response situations. The project will be completed by July 2010 and will inform future funding opportunities geared towards educating and training the current and future public health workforce.
