[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 1dO2XR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study examines organizational characteristics and market conditions likely to influence collaborative relationships between public health agencies and community medical care providers. Methods. Public health directors in 60 US counties were surveyed by telephoen concerning their relationships with area community hospitals (n=263) and community health centers (n=85). Multivariate models were used to estimate the effects of organizational and market charateristics on collaboration. Results. Collaboration was reporter among 55% of the hospitals and 64% of the health centers. Certain formas of collaboration were more likely in markets charaterized by higher HMO penetration and lower HMO competition. Conclusions. Targeted efforts to facilitate collaboration may be required in settings where institutional and market incentives are lacking.
