الوصف: In recent decades, the scale and speed at which humans move around the world has increased dramatically. Countries and their respective points of entry (POE) increasingly need each other to cooperatively fight disease spread along with humans and goods. This thesis aimed to find out how to best train and prepare the POE workforce, including largely from non-health backgrounds, to meet internationally formulated conditions to deal with internationally spreading diseases. Chapter 2–4 were executed in this period. In Chapter 2, we performed a training needs assessment among representatives of European airports, ports and ground-crossings to assess the priorities and needs of public health professionals involved in the infectious disease control. These results clearly showed that core capacities for PHEP&R were considered important where they covered human health and infectious diseases. In Chapter 3, we translated the requirements on organizational level (capabilities and capacities) to the personal level. We used the RAND-modified Delphi method to design a competency profile for the PH tasks, and restricted our method to airports. Performing infectious disease control in the POE setting requires much more than (public) health knowledge alone, and it is a complex task requiring intense collaboration and communication with POE partners. In Chapter 4, we mapped the available evidence for effective education, training and exercise methods on infectious disease preparedness and response from a public health perspective. We had particular interest in methodologies used in cross-border settings and with a wide geographic reach. The wide-reach methodologies such as online training, combined with practice, showed effective results. We used the COVID-19 pandemic to learn from the response practice at POE during that crisis period. Chapter 5–7 were executed during the course of this pandemic. In Chapter 5, we presented the results of interviews held with POE professionals involved in the COVID-19 response in order to ...
