Navigating the Student to Employee Lifecycle to Enhance Recruitment and Retention in Local Health Departments.
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 better understand local health departments' (LHDs) recruitment and retention needs and practices within the employee lifecycle.
designThis research used descriptive qualitative methods, with semistructured interviews and focus groups, with 69 participants from 35 LHDs and 23 schools. Transcripts were analyzed using deductive and inductive coding with descriptive coding and thematic analysis.
settingFocus groups with students, career counselors, and new LHD employees and interviews with LHD representatives.
participantsStudents, career counselors, and new LHD employees.
main outcome measureOutcomes of interest included salient themes within the employee lifecycle stages.
resultsFive overarching themes were developed: (1) public health definition discordance; (2) supports needed for student internships and LHD career pathways; (3) the need to leverage partnerships and student career aspirations in LHD recruitment; (4) the need for effective LHD onboarding process; and (5) strategies for addressing retention challenges.
conclusionsWithin the LHD employee lifecycle, connection points between student perceptions, student internships, LHD recruitment, LHD onboarding, and LHD retention are currently faltering and, if fixed, may strengthen public health recruitment and retention amongst students.
