Government Health Centers: Research Questions and Hypothesis

Opportunities for public health vary considerably from one nation to another. This is even true of westernized and industrialized nations, where political, economic and corporate culture will have a determinant impact on how public health is pursued and how access is accommodated. The research proposed for a consequent dissertation would examine these distinctions as they concern the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. Each of the four nations noted offers a variance of public and government-sponsored health centers, however the nature, accessibility and adequacy of these centers also vary considerably. As this dissertation proceeds with an examination of these variances, it will be with an emphasis on defining the differences in operational orientation, emergency preparedness, available funding and the demographics which require and benefit most from such centers.

Research Questions:

Primary Research Question:

Research questions are framed in order to promote a comparative discussion on the public health orientation of each of the four nations denoted above. First, the research is driven by a primary research question. Subsequently, the research will consider the implications of several subordinate research questions.

The Primary Research Question asks the following: What is the nature of the relationship between each nation's orientation toward universal or nationalized healthcare as this contributes to the accessibility, availability and quality of its government health centers?

Subordinate Research Questions:

In order to promote a nuanced research…
