Research Network
CALPHO is a leader in a network of organizations conducting practiced-based research in the public health system, including its workforce, governance structures, cultures, finances, operational issues, and technological capacities. This field of inquiry, called Public Health Services and Systems Research (PHSSR), aims to improve the delivery of public health services and, in turn, the health of the populations served by public health agencies. Findings from these studies are used to develop an evidence-base for the administration of public health agencies and programs.
