Abstract:
Although the fields of public health and health services research have much in common, public health practitioners--in their daily encounters with practical, frontline challenges--may not be aware of the quantity and the quality of information generated by health services research that is directly related to public health activities. We describe a number of health services research resources that public health practitioners may find useful, including an overview of these resources and several in-depth examples.
