ASTHO Profile Survey of State and Territorial Public Health and Forces of Change Series

The 2022 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 Profile aims to define the scope of S/THA services, identify variations in practice among public health agencies, and contribute to the development of best practices in governmental public health. The Profile began in 2007 and was fielded on average every three years between 2007 and 2022. The data collected through the Profile represent the breadth of work overseen by health agencies and shows how the public health field has shifted in response to societal changes and emergent needs. Data also reflect the structural nuances and limitations in which agencies conduct their work.
