The Public Health Learning Agenda Design Team, which includes NEPTHC’s Karla Todd Barrett, is excited to announce the organizations selected to pilot test the first version of the Public Health Learning Agenda Toolkit. This group of 26 teams represents governmental public health agencies, higher education, and other health-related organizations from around the country. The testers completed a kick-off webinar on June 17, and will spend the next two months simulating the development of their own learning agenda and giving feedback about what else is needed to facilitate organizational learning for complex systems changes. Some of the community challenges they will be considering are substance use disorder, lack of health care services, food security, building vaccine confidence, social isolation, and more. Thank you to everyone who applied and congratulations to those who were selected. Stay tuned for the pilot test results and the next steps for the toolkit later this year. Questions?
