Background: Assessing community and organizational readiness is key to successfully implementing programs. The purpose of this study was to assess the baseline readiness of micropolitan communities to adopt an evidence-based physical activity (PA) intervention by exploring three dimensions: (1) attitudes and current efforts toward prevention, (2) community and organizational climate that facilitates (or impedes) change, and (3) capacity to implement change.
Method: Data were collected from community leaders in 14 communities through an online survey in June 2021 (n = 149).
Objective: To understand how micropolitan public health workers (PHWs) experienced burnout antecedents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: We conducted in-depth guided discussions with 34 representatives from 16 micropolitan public health departments using semistructured, open-ended questions about departments' experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. We coded discussion transcripts to develop themes according to the Six Areas of Worklife model.
