Associations between public health team engagement in local alcohol licensing and public health and crime outcomes in England and Scotland: a timeseries analysis

The 2013–2016 Ebola epidemic in West Africa challenged traditional international mechanisms for public health team mobilisation to control outbreaks. Consequently, in February 2016, the European Union (EU) launched the European Medical Corps (EMC), a mechanism developed in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) to rapidly deploy teams and equipment in response to public health emergencies inside and outside the EU. Public Health Teams (PHTs), a component of the EMC, consist of experts in communicable disease prevention and control from participating countries and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), to support affected countries and WHO in risk assessment and outbreak response. The European Commission’s Directorate-General European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations and Directorate-General Health and Food Safety, and ECDC, plan and support deployments. The first EMC-PHT deployment took place in May 2016, with a team sent to Angola for a yellow fever outbreak. The aims were to evaluate transmission risks to local populations and EU citizens in Angola, the risk of regional spread and importation into the EU, and to advise Angolan and EU authorities on control measures. International actors should gain awareness of the EMC, its response capacities and the means for requesting assistance.

Team Engagement

As technology for remote learning advances, it is critical to understand how public health internship preceptors or faculty can provide engaging virtual experiential learning experiences for pre-professionals. We aimed to examine whether a virtual internship offered through a breastfeeding education company engaged learners to develop public health skills resulting in products beneficial for the internship site and learner. We provided a menu of tools to consider when developing virtual experiential opportunities. Master of Public Health students seeking dual-degrees in dietetics, nursing, and social work participated. Value of the interprofessional team, engagement, knowledge attainment, and translational skills were assessed through diverse modalities including surveys, oral communication, and products relevant to the internship site and interns’ academic program. Interns indicated that they valued the internship team and felt the team valued each intern’s opinion. Interns developed products useful to the internship site, suggesting active engagement in the virtual experience. Interns’ breastfeeding knowledge developed as the internship progressed demonstrated through oral communication as the content conveyed and discussed by interns advanced in cognitive level. The most frequently practiced translational skills reported by interns were research and communication. Virtual experiential learning can be hands-on resulting in professional skill development. This work aides in the understanding of how to feasibly implement an engaging remote internship.
