What is the Colorado Public Health Practice-Based Research Network (COPHPBRN)?
The Colorado Public Health Practice Based Research Network is one of the first 12 networks of its type developed across the country. The purpose of the network is based in the success of practice based research in primary care and other health care fields and the understanding that there is a need for rigorous research that directly informs public health practice.
Successful PBRNs bring together individuals in public health practice and research to identify relevant questions and link them with rigorous research methods applied within actual practice settings. The result of this collaboration is scientific information that is relevant to practice, externally valid, and readily adopted into practice.
Who is the COPHPBRN?
Staff, a Founding Steering Committee and YOU!
The COPHPBRN began as a collaborative effort of several public health organizations in Colorado including the Colorado School of Public Health, the Public Health Alliance of Colorado and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Julie Marshall, Ph.D., is the principal investigator, Lisa VanRaemdonck, MPH, MSW, is the director and Sarah Lampe, MPH, is the project coordinator.
A Founding Steering Committee consisting of researchers and local public health agency practitioners was convened to help guide the development of the network.
The success of the Colorado Public Health Practice Based Research Network is dependent upon an active group of public health practitioners and researchers that are interested in engaging in rigorous research to answer important questions related to public health practice.
