ASTHO Profile Survey of State and Territorial Public Health, United States, 2019

The 2019 ASTHO Profile Survey is a survey conducted by the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) to gather information on state, territorial, and freely associated state public health agencies (S/THAs) and their activities, structure, and resources. The survey aims to define the scope of state and territorial public health services, identify variations in practice among public health agencies, and contribute to the development of best practices in governmental public health. The instrument was disseminated electronically in April 2019 and completed by state and territorial health agency staff at each S/THA including senior deputies, chief financial officers, and human resource directors. The survey closed in January 2020; the response rate was 100% percent among the 50 states and D.C., and 98% percent among all states, territories, and freely associated states.
