[National Research Program 1A: health educational interventions in Aarau: examples and detailed concepts].

In order to participate in the production of new ideas for local health campaigns, regular sessions are held with members of the health committee and the project team. These brain-storming sessions are based on problem lists using data of the initial health examination and the experience with health education campaigns accumulated so far in the program. The ideas are operationalized into concepts for health education campaigns: for each campaign, goals have to be stated clearly (attitudinal, behavioral goals), target groups have to be identified, the arguments and the type of media have to be specified and the costs calculated. This paper presents four examples of health education campaigns within the local intervention program in Aarau. For each of the two risk factors "nutrition" and "physical activity", a mass media campaign and a group-oriented campaign is discussed (nutrition: a campaign including fifteen restaurants to promote healthy alternatives to regular menus, groups to lose weight. Physical activity: "the walk around the world", jogging groups). It is concluded that, based on a community intervention model, health education campaigns are feasible and have the potential to reach a large fraction of the population.

Mental health services system research: the National Institute of Mental Health program.

There is a critical need for research to examine the changing mental health services system, to evaluate major innovations in the provision of mental health treatment, and to remove existing barriers to comprehensive and cost-effective care. To achieve these aims, collaboration is needed among government agencies, mental health services programs, academic institutions, and the private sector. The National Institute of Mental Health supports research and research training on the mental health services system primarily through the Division of Biometry and Applied Sciences. This article focuses on the division's three priority research areas of the mental health services system: the provision of mental health care in the primary care sector, the organization and delivery of care for the chronically mentally ill, and financing and reimbursement of care. The various mechanisms of research support are also highlighted.

The national survey of health administration program graduates on management information systems education.

A national survey of alumni of AUPHA programs from the classes of 1983, 1984, and 1985 was undertaken to assess their experiences in management information systems education, both formally and on the job. The survey covered 38 AUPHA graduate member programs and resulted in 1,181 responses. Over 40 percent of the alumni indicated that they had had an introductory management information systems (MIS) course in a health administration program. Since graduation, almost 90 percent have had some significant on-the-job involvement with computers, computer-generated information, or MIS. More than one-third of the respondents felt that their MIS course work did not adequately prepare them for what was expected on the job. Alumni stressed that microcomputer software applications, such as spreadsheets and data bases, are important areas for student hands-on experiences. When asked the importance of certain areas to be included in a required introductory MIS course, the alumni also recommended spreadsheet analysis and design, report writing and data presentation, and other management areas. Additional comments suggested more access to personal computers (PCs), more relevance in the curriculum to the "real world," and the importance of MIS to the career paths of alumni. Faculty suggestions from a 1984-85 survey are compared with alumni responses in order to identify curricular changes needed. Recommendations are outlined for consideration.
