The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Public Health Associate Program (PHAP) enhances host agency capacity and culture by assigning skilled trainees. This study explored the value PHAP brings to these agencies.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health Training
  • Service-Learning Programs
  • Workforce Development

Background:

  • The "learn by doing" approach is prevalent in public health training and service-learning.
  • Trainee outcomes like satisfaction and learning are well-documented.
  • The value of such programs from the host agency perspective is less understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the value of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Public Health Associate Program (PHAP) for host agencies.
  • To explore how PHAP trainees contribute to host agencies during their 2-year assignments.

Main Methods:

  • Exploratory qualitative study design.
  • Semistructured telephone interviews with 9 PHAP host agency supervisors.
  • Focus on the host agency perspective regarding trainee contributions and program impact.
