Migration00:53

Migration

Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.
Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...
Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...
Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Profile Leveling and Cross Sections01:26

Profile Leveling and Cross Sections

Profile leveling and cross-sections are surveying methods used to determine and document terrain elevations for infrastructure projects such as highways, railroads, canals, and pipelines. These methods provide data for earthwork planning and alignment of proposed routes.  Profile leveling involves measuring elevations along a fixed line to create a vertical terrain profile. A surveyor sets up a leveling instrument at the benchmark (BM) and records a backsight (BS) to determine the instrument's...
Data Collection by Survey01:07

Data Collection by Survey

The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Emergency Preparedness
  • Workforce Development

Background:

  • Recent events like 9/11, hurricanes, and H1N1 highlight the critical need for a competent public health workforce.
  • Ensuring population safety and security necessitates a well-prepared public health sector.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the training needs of the public health workforce along the U.S.-Mexico border.
  • To identify and prioritize essential public health competencies, including those related to bioterrorism, infectious diseases, and border-specific issues.

Main Methods:

  • An online needs assessment survey was conducted across U.S. Mexico border states.
  • The survey evaluated core public health competencies, bioterrorism preparedness, infectious disease knowledge, and border/binational training requirements.

Main Results:

  • Most respondents (80%) worked for agencies serving both rural and urban populations.
  • A minority felt well-prepared in Core Bioterrorism competencies.
  • Border Competency, Surveillance/Epidemiology, Communications/Media Relations, and Cultural Responsiveness did not meet a 70% importance rating.

Conclusions:

  • The study underscores the unique public health emergency preparedness needs of the U.S.-Mexico border region.
  • There is a clear need to improve border competency skills, particularly for those involved in emergency preparedness and response along the border.
