Population Health Planning for Rural Medicare Locals: evaluating a community participation method for delivering outcomes

这项研究，在六个社区，将评估是否有证据为基础的方法，从英国农村社区参与转化为协助医疗保险当地人的医疗保健规划。医疗保险当地人必须让当地人参与设计改善健康的服务，但缺乏这样做的方法。研究的重点是口腔健康，这是农村地区的一个主要问题。该研究评估是否设计和实施了新的服务，以及健康知识和行为是否发生了变化。

The study, in six communities, will evaluate whether an evidenced based method of rural community participation from the UK translates to assist healthcare planning by Medicare Locals. Medicare Locals must involve local people in designing services to improve health, but lack methods to do this. The focus of the study is oral health, a major issue in rural areas. The study evaluates whether new services are designed and implemented and whether there is change to health knowledge and behaviours.
