• Resumen

  • An academic health department (AHD) is a formal partnership between an academic institution and a governmental public health agency. Case studies have described the value of individual AHDs in the areas of student engagement, practice-based research, workforce development, and service. With growing interest in AHDs and the increasing importance of academic-practice linkages in both academic programs' and public health agencies' accreditation processes, articulating a research agenda focused on the AHDmodel can be useful for stimulating the research and practicefields to further develop the evidence base for AHDs. We provide a researchagenda, developed through an iterative process involving academicians, practitioners, and others interested in academic-practice linkages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
