ASTHO Profile Survey of State and Territorial Public Health, United States, 2016

The 2016 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 129-question instrument was disseminated electronically in April 2016 and completed by senior deputies at each S/THA. The survey closed in September 2016; the response rate was 98 percent among the 50 states and D.C., and 97 percent among all states, territories, and freely associated states.
