Overview
The Nebraska Practice Based Research Network (PBRN) led by the Nebraska Division of Public Health will organize a research network that encompasses Nebraska’s recently-regionalized public health agencies along with four urban and rural single-county health departments, the University of Nebraska, Creighton University, and several other public health organizations. The network’s initial studies will examine the implementation and impact of Nebraska’s newly established regional public health service model, with an early focus on organizational design and workforce issues.
