MODEL COLLABORATION CENTER
(mCC)
A Global Resource Center Linking
Public Health Practice & Academia on
HIV and related STDs, TB & Viral Hepatitis |
|
Epidemiology Research & Training [HiSTHERT] |

|
|
|
The mCC is a mechanism through which the
iHASE virtual network of public health agencies' applied epidemiology
and disease intervention practitioners can develop collaboration with
academia and affected communities to incubate exemplary public health
solutions. For more information, click on "Purpose" on the menu above. |

HOME|Purpose
|
"The reason for collecting, analyzing and
disseminating information on a disease is to control that disease.
Collection and analysis should not be allowed to consume resources if
action does not follow." |
|
Foege WH, International Journal of Epidemiology 1976; 5:29-37 |
| |
|
The overall purpose of the model Collaboration Center is to
stimulate collaboration between public health epidemiologists and
practitioners, academic researchers and community-based partners
to assure: |
|
a. |
An
integrated applied "disease intervention" epidemiology bridge
between data collection in public health surveillance and
disease intervention programs [for disease control and prevention
of HIV and related sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), Viral
Hepatitis, and tuberculosis (TB) ], and |
|
b. |
An integrated approach to the provision of
applied Epidemiology support for prevention and care
intervention/service programs on Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and related STDs, Viral Hepatitis, and TB.

The model Collaboration Center coordination of disease intervention
epidemiology supports public health intervention service programs on HIV,
related STDs, TB & Viral Hepatitis, and the public health practitioners
involved in planning and providing the relevant intervention (prevention and
care) services. The target populations of the public health
intervention/services supported include all persons living with these
infections or who are at risk of acquiring these infections or progressing
to illness. The applied Epidemiology support involves providing an
evidence-based (research and data driven) decision model that allows public
health practitioners and their partners to focus on identifiable health
needs and disparities in the various geographical and human sub-populations
of interest. Critical to this support is a) the analysis of available
routinely collected mortality and morbidity/surveillance data, and b)
conducting supplemental studies in order to generate the data necessary for
prevention and care program planning, development, implementation, and
outcome evaluation (of public health interventions/services): |

specifically, the provision of applied "disease intervention
Epidemiology" support for HIV(& related STD, TB & Viral Hepatitis)
prevention and care programs is in two major domains that drive public
health action:

Target Audience of this Web Site: In pursuit of the
above-referenced purposes, this model Collaboration Center web
site was designed to stimulate/facilitate cross-program
[public-public (intragovernmental)] and cross-sectoral
[public-private] integration and communication/exchange of
information on a framework/model for coordination among
collaborating partners on HIV and related STDs, TB & Viral
Hepatitis Epidemiology: i.e. a) each public health
jurisdiction's prevention and care program planning and policy
development committees (incl. consumer communities); b)
prevention and care intervention program and health services
development, implementation and service delivery partners; c)
public health surveillance & Epidemiology partners; academic
research and training collaboration partners; and d) other
interested parties.
