What is the difference between intervention research and systems research?
Intervention research is used for implementing change, evaluating, and prevention. Public health uses intervention in many different forms but most importantly it is used to change, evaluate and to prevent. According to Shi & Johnson (2014), “EBPH has borrowed the term intervention from clinical disciplines, insinuating specificity and discreteness. However, in public health, we seldom have a single “intervention,” but rather a program that involves a blending of several interventions within a community” (pp. 513).
System research exams the financial, organization and the delivery of public health services. According to Shi & Johnson (2014), “Public health systems

    Explain One Primary Challenge Of Public Health Priority Setting

    One primary challenge for Public health priority setting is that resources are limited, making it impossible to provide everyone with every effective intervention they might need or want.1 Funding and its allocations is another challenge for public health priority setting.2 In spite of that, there is never enough funding to address all the public health issues and conduct research in the community.2 Continued reductions or unavailability in funding for public health priorities and community based health services, increased focus on policy and systems change and greater accountability for public health standards are some of the factors creating new challenges for setting priorities.34 It has been always a challenge to select a group/community…

    Preventative Targeted Intervention

    The type of intervention approach most appropriate for the homelessness issue in Baltimore City is a preventative targeted intervention. This approach has been selected since, a portion of homeless individuals are showing signs and symptoms of substance abuse (Roe-Sepowtiz, Bedard, & Thyer, 2005). Although there are great efforts in Baltimore City’s intervention plans, there are too many gaps that leave out individuals who are suffering from substance abuse (Baltimore City Jurisdictional Plan, 2009). Every plan has the same goal of moving the homeless with substance abuse problems into a healthier lifestyle, however change has been a slow and ineffective process (Baltimore City Jurisdictional Plan, 2009). The preventative targeted intervention…

    Evidence Based Intervention Analysis

    To me to intervene in practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities means social workers know about evidence-based interventions to help achieve the goals of individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities they work with. Social workers understand the theories from all course work and critically evaluate and apply what we know to successfully help clients meet their goals. We realize that inter-professional and interdisciplinary collaboration is important to helping clients. We use what we understand about human behavior, person-in-environment and theoretical framework with our clients. We advocate and mediate with and for clients to ensure goals are met.…

    Pro Active Intervention

    The emphasis on prevention and early intervention makes General Practitioners, being accessible, trusted and capable, ideal candidates to treat ‘patients’ with low-level substance problems (Deeham et al,1998). Yet despite there being plenty of training available in the subject, doctors show little interest enrolling in ‘dirty work’, predominately because they consider their remit lies with medical, not social aspects of a prejudicial ‘illness’(Strong, 1980:24). Brown et al (2016), however, offers an alternative argument to doctor’s reluctance, pointing out pro-active measures are backed by minimalistic financial incentives for brief interventions targeting substances, like alcohol, in comparison to smoking cessation. It could be suggested this…

    Iron Triangle: Relationship Between Access, Cost And Quality

    I believe that the relationship among access, cost and quality is called the “iron triangle” because of how heavily interrelated each entity is within our current healthcare system (a change in one aspect of the triangle affects the other aspects as well). If we were to increase access to healthcare, cost for healthcare would also increase. And access to quality healthcare is often limited due to cost. I do believe that cost, access and quality are important pillars of our healthcare system but as the name ‘iron’ implies I don’t agree that this relationship is incapable of being changed.…

    Neglected Tropical Diseases

    When considering global health, we cannot overlook the issue of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). While mainly effecting populations in poverty, the diseases infect over a billion people globally in around 150 tropical and subtropical countries (WHO). As a result of prevalent health issues in more developed nations, NTDs are often overlooked and downgraded in the overall health importance scale. Neglected tropical diseases are often neglected due to their lack of relevance and breadth of infection. While highly prevalent in many underdeveloped portions of the world, they are largely unseen in more developed countries.…
