Continuation of collaboration between policy, research and practice in the Academic Collaborative Centres for Public Health: development and application of a monitor. The program Academic Collaborative Centres (ACCs) for Public Health is aimed at creating sustainable collaboration between policy, research and practice in order to improve the quality of public health. The institutions collaborating within an ACC are the community health services, a university department, and one or more municipalities. TNO developed an instrument for monitoring the process of continuation of this collaboration and identifying its determinants. Such information can be used for guiding the collaboration within the ACCs. This article presents the development of the ACC Monitor as well as the results of its application. The monitor has been applied in June 2011 and April 2013. The results show an improvement in the level of sustainability of collaboration in the Academic Collaborative Centres, but the involvement of policy organizations lags behind. Also, the determinants that were significantly associated with the degree of sustainability of the collaboration between policy, research and practice are stated.
