摘要

目的:COVID-19 大流行的爆发与人们对公共卫生硕士 (MPH) 项目的兴趣之间的关系尚不清楚。我们研究了 31 个公共卫生硕士专业的申请率趋势,特别是流行病学公共卫生硕士专业的申请率趋势,以及 COVID-19 大流行前后不同种族和民族的差异:我们采用准实验设计,利用公共卫生学校和专业集中申请服务数据,研究了从 2015-2016 学年到 2022-2023 学年 MPH 申请率的变化趋势。我们使用间断时间序列分析法来检验申请率是否在大流行开始后(2019-2020 学年至 2020-2021 学年)激增,以及这种增长是否在大流行期间(2020-2021 学年至 2022-2023 学年)持续。我们对总体样本、少数种族和族裔的综合样本、每个种族和族裔群体的单独样本以及非美国公民样本进行了模型拟合:在大多数样本中,大流行病的爆发与申请率的立即上升相关:总体样本(38%)、美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民/夏威夷原住民/太平洋岛民样本(91%)、亚裔样本(35%)、黑人样本(42%)、西班牙裔样本(60%)、多种族样本(30%)、少数种族和族裔样本(44%)以及白人样本(53%)。然而,这一趋势并没有持续下去;大流行期间的应用率趋势明显低于大流行前的趋势。在大流行期间,非美国公民中所有 MPH 专业和流行病学 MPH 专业的申请率趋势明显高于大流行前:我们的研究结果表明,有必要采取创新策略来保持对公共卫生硕士学位的兴趣和多元化的申请者群体。

An Immediate but Fleeting Interest in MPH Programs After the Onset of COVID-19: An Interrupted Time-Series Analysis.

Objectives: The relationship between the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and interest in master of public health (MPH) programs is unknown. We examined trends in MPH application rates for 31 MPH concentrations and specifically for the MPH concentration in epidemiology and differences by race and ethnicity before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: We constructed a quasi-experimental design to examine trends in MPH application rates from academic years 2015-2016 through 2022-2023 by using Centralized Application Service for Schools and Programs of Public Health data. We used an interrupted time-series analysis to test whether application rates surged after the pandemic's onset (academic years 2019-2020 through 2020-2021) and whether this increase persisted during the pandemic (academic years 2020-2021 through 2022-2023). We fit models for the overall sample, a combined racially and ethnically minoritized sample, each racial and ethnic group separately, and a non-US citizen sample.

Results: The pandemic's onset correlated with an immediate increase in application rates across most samples: overall (38%) and among American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (91%), Asian (35%), Black (42%), Hispanic (60%), multiracial (30%), racially and ethnically minoritized (44%), and White (53%) samples. However, this trend was not sustained; application rate trends during the pandemic were significantly lower than prepandemic trends. Application rate trends for all MPH concentrations and the MPH in epidemiology concentration among non-US citizens were significantly higher during the pandemic than prepandemic.

Conclusions: Our results highlight the need for innovative strategies to sustain MPH degree interest and a diverse applicant pool.

期刊介绍: Public Health Reports is the official journal of the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General and the U.S. Public Health Service and has been published since 1878. It is published bimonthly, plus supplement issues, through an official agreement with the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health. The journal is peer-reviewed and publishes original research and commentaries in the areas of public health practice and methodology, original research, public health law, and public health schools and teaching. Issues contain regular commentaries by the U.S. Surgeon General and executives of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health. The journal focuses upon such topics as tobacco control, teenage violence, occupational disease and injury, immunization, drug policy, lead screening, health disparities, and many other key and emerging public health issues. In addition to the six regular issues, PHR produces supplemental issues approximately 2-5 times per year which focus on specific topics that are of particular interest to our readership. The journal''s contributors are on the front line of public health and they present their work in a readable and accessible format.
