A Typology to Describe Community Context and Population Health Activities in Local Public Health Delivery Systems.
Article in Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo develop a typology of approaches to population health activities that local health departments (LHDs) and their partners take to address community health needs, and identify associated contextual factors.
designUsing latent class analysis, we categorized how jurisdictions prioritize and perform 10 population health activities. With a latent class regression model (multinomial logistic regression), we examined the effect of county-level community characteristics on LHD class membership. Models include primary care provider ratio, income inequality ratio, social membership association ratio, percent non-Hispanic Black, and percent non-English speakers.
settingLocal public health delivery systems across the US.

resultsInformation statistics revealed a 3-class model as most appropriate for the population health approach typology-Underutilized Network (Class 1), Community Need and Implementation-Focused (Class 2), and Health Disparities, Implementation, and Evaluation-Focused (Class 3). Roughly 41% of delivery systems fell into Class 1, 39% into Class 2, and 20% into Class 3. Class 1 health departments self-reported no/poor performance on the 10 population health activities. Class 2 health departments reported variable performance (0.30 < P ( x ) < 0.70). Class 3 health departments reported good/excellent performance for most activities (0.30 < P ( x ) < 0.75). Regression results showed the probability of a delivery system being in Class 1 was higher among counties with a larger number of social membership associations ( P < .05). The probability of a Class 3 approach increased as the percent of non-Hispanic Black people in the community increases ( P < .05).
conclusions20% of local public health delivery systems achieve the highest level of response to community-specific health priorities. Many jurisdictions do not perform well on population health activities that can reduce health disparities overall. Those with a network of support, but without established plans and processes tailored to community-specific health needs, struggle to prioritize and perform population health activities.
