In 2021, the Population Health Innovation Lab’s Division of Research and Network Science conducted a study with six Accountable Communities of/for Health (ACH) in Washington and California that sought in-depth answers to the question: “How do local context and power dynamics influence an ACH’s ability to make progress toward improved equity?” Findings from this study are available in this report.

The “Improving Population Health Through Multisector Collaboration” brief series synthesizes lessons learned from PHIL’s Aligning Systems for Health research conducted from May 2020 – November 2022 in six parts. Visit our brief series webpage to access all six briefs.

Resilience Catalysts in Public Health (RC) is a national collaborative of local health departments seeking to eliminate adversity, build resilience, and foster equity. Using the Community Resilience Framework, which is aligned with the goals of Public Health 3.0, RC sites receive technical assistance (TA) to apply a public health approach to address adverse childhood experiences and adverse community environments. In April and May 2023, PHIL conducted an evaluation of RC, surveying 29 individuals from 11 of the 13 RC sites and interviewing 19 individuals from nine sites and 14 TA providers/funders. Evaluation findings expand understanding of RC’s preliminary impact and inform implications for theory, practice, and funding in the post-COVID-19 context.
