Description
Summary:Abstract Precision public health (PPH) approaches use big data to inform tailored, population-level interventions. The field has roots in genomics, but it has expanded to encompass data-informed public health programs across various types of data or applications. The Precision Public Health Network hosted a 2023 conference focused on implementation science—the study of how to integrate PPH programs into practice. Some implementation needs that emerged across speakers included establishing robust evidence of clinical utility and feasibility, disseminating clinical best practices through guidelines and tools for providers, sharing tools or information to reduce duplicated efforts across settings, and considering context-specific factors. Considering feasibility, setting-specific factors, and meaningful engagement with relevant user groups throughout the research and implementation process are critical to the successful and sustainable implementation of PPH programs. The Network also hosted an interactive workshop to generate ideas and ongoing collaboration on essential outcomes or data measures for PPH programs, and strategies to center health equity in PPH. This conference and workshop are part of the ongoing work of the PPHN to convene experts across disciplines and settings, share knowledge, and galvanize the field of PPH.
