Local Health Department Infrastructure Study, 1999-2000: [United States] (ICPSR 3185)
Released/updated on: 2024-02-14
Time period: 1999-01-01--2000-01-01
The purpose of this survey was to address the paucity of current data on the United States' local public health infrastructure and to advance understanding of the many ways local public health agencies contribute to keeping the nation's population and environment healthy. The survey collected information on local health department (LHD) characteristics (e.g., type of jurisdiction served, office to which the LHD reported directly, total expenditures, and sources of the LHD's total budget), priority program areas, and public health services provided directly or through contracts with others. Additional data cover LHD workforce composition, staffing needs, workforce training, and partnerships and collaborations with other groups and organizations, such as state or federal agencies, hospitals, HMOs, community health centers, universities, community-based organizations, professional associations, faith communities/churches, and business/private corporations. LHDs also reported on completion of community health assessments and development of community health improvement plans.
