Students' appraisal of community services: Some useful implications

Abstract

A workshop on the evaluation of a controversial plan to integrate preventive and curative mother‐and‐child services in Jerusalem was conducted by the Hebrew University — Hadassah School of Public Health and Community Medicine. An extensive field study, conducted by second‐year MPH students led to a better understanding of community problems and needs, and to the formulation of recommendations for closer co‐ordination, rather than integration, between the municipal preventive health services and the curative clinics operated by the sick funds. This paper shows how these recommendations affected the decision‐making process in Jerusalem, and discusses the implications of these and other policy interventions on attaining the various goals of public health academicians.
