In September 2013, the NCCDH hosted an online conversation to discuss the four-role model for public health action to improve health equity that we described in one of our Let’s Talk series.
Participants in the conversation talked about:
- which role areas they were working in and what activities they were involved in with that role,
- which role areas they would like to do more work in, and
- what was getting in the way of doing more work in a particular role area
Participants identified a number of conditions that support public health staff in their ability to act within the four roles:
- Assess and report
- Modify and orient
- Partner with others
- Participate in policy development
