Population Health Scholars Program

The Population Health Scholars Program, one of the center's two scholars programs, provides training and mentoring in community and population health research at Mayo Clinic. The three-year program, which welcomed six new Mayo clinician-scholars in 2014, provides a unique opportunity to learn how to obtain grants, conduct research and publish study findings that advance population health science.

Population approaches to vaccine delivery

The Olmsted County Community Health Needs Assessment lists vaccine-preventable diseases as one of the top five community health priorities. Vaccines are among the most cost-effective clinical preventive services. The Population Health Science Program is working on a number of projects related to vaccine delivery in the community, including:

• Exploring changes in pediatric influenza rates over time
• Examining the effectiveness of influenza vaccines in preventing pandemic influenza infection
• Determining immunization coverage among children of Somali immigrants and refugees
• Identifying multilevel influences on HPV vaccination initiation and completion
• Evaluating response to immunization recall letters
