1. Public health partnerships
Public health partnershipsPublic health partnershipsInstructions The paper’ s purpose is to
provide practical experience in effectively using health care research resources through
library databases and Internet search engines and to enable you to write more effectively
about public health administration topics. The length of the paper should be from six to ten
double-spaced pages, not including the title page, references, or any charts or tables. The
paper must meet all APA standards and your references must include at least five peer-
reviewed journal articles. Grading criteria will include organization, the depth of fact-
finding, the depth of analysis, sophistication of thinking, strength and clarity of writing,
paper formatting, and the degree to which the paper followed the published guidelines. See
the Standardized Writing Rubric in the Course Content for specific criteria. Public health
partnerships are an important tool for stretching limited resources. Using the literature and
information found in this course, explain in detail the different types of partnerships
(strategic orientation, categories, and characteristics) and use that information to conduct
an analysis of two different public health partnerships. In your analysis, you should describe
the purposes, structure, goals of each of the organizations and the two partnerships and
how the organizations quantify or measure their success. You should conclude by
comparing and contrasting the two partnerships and describe any similarities and
differences between them, identify whether one program appears to have advantages over
the other, and explain why.Assignment #4: Major Research PaperInstructionsThe paper’ s
