Abstract
Reducing harmful, wasteful, and inequitable variation in public health delivery is a central objective for administrative and policy decision-makers in public health, and is embedded in the national accreditation movement. The challenge lies in accomplishing this objective while preserving the benefits of customization in public health delivery that accrue through tailoring and targeting of resources to unique community needs and risks. Public health services and systems research (PHSSR) can help determine the optimal balance between standardization and customization in public health delivery.
