- W80481076 abstract "INTRODUCTION A strong public health workforce is necessary to maintain the health and well-being of any community. Currently, the ability of the public health workforce to meet demand is being challenged in Hawai'i and the Pacific. This is due, in part, to the downsizing of the public health program at the University of Hawai'i (UH) in the year 2000. Knowing the current perceptions of the community in regards to public health and identifying ways to attract more students to public health are essential in reversing this trend. MATERIALS AND METHODS Students from a class on needs assessment and program planning at the UH Department of Public Health Sciences assessed public health education needs. The class first conducted a literature review, focus groups, and interviews to inform the development of an on-line survey. The survey was sent to 200 individuals, including current public health students, faculty, workers, employers, and alumni. RESULTS Of the 200 individuals invited to participate in the on-line survey, 128 (64%) responded. Almost half of the respondents were >50 years of age, and another 19% were between ages 41 and 50. Of the 118 who responded to this question, 85 had degrees in public health (80%from UH), and 62% had worked in public health for at least 10 years. However, only 50% of the total respondents knew that UH Masters of Public Health (MPH) and the Masters of Science (MS) programs were accredited. Forty percent or more of public health workers noted continuing education needs in 1) policy development and program planning skills, 2) analytical skills, 3) leadership and systems thinking skills, and 4) financial planning and management skills. Fully 43 of the respondents would consider applying to a DrPH program at UH, and 27 public health workers without an MPH would consider pursuing one. However potential students noted lack of time and timing of classes as barriers to attending school. Specific ideas for attracting students to public health were provided. Respondents also called for a greater commitment to public health from top leadership at UH and in Hawai'i. DISCUSSION Findings confirm a need for a strong public health education program in Hawai'i and a lack of awareness about the MPH and MS programs at UH. Expanding options and opportunities for public health education will require better marketing and a cohesive commitment to public health education at UH." @default.
