  • Description:
    The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) conducted the Legionnaires’ Disease (LD) Outbreak Response Gap Analysis survey between March and April 2019. Participants included LD subject matter experts in state and territorial health agencies (S/THAS) who were identified by members of ASTHO’s Health Security Team and CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. Forty-seven individuals responded to this gap analysis, representing a response rate of almost 80 percent. The survey aimed to improve ASTHO’s understanding of the LD guidance available to S/THAs, to learn about S/THAs’ response to suspected or confirmed LD outbreaks, and to identify resource needs and gaps in existing guidance. This information will inform the development of tools and resources for public health officials. ASTHO is also supporting S/THAs in LD outbreak response efforts by cataloging and developing new guidance and tools for public health officials. This initiative builds upon existing work and ongoing engagement to improve S/THA capacity for LD prevention, diagnosis, surveillance, outbreak response, and water management program (WMP) implementation.

    ASTHO would like to thank the Legionnaires’ disease staff and other state and territorial health agency colleagues for taking the time to participate in ASTHO’s Legionnaires’ Disease Outbreak Response Gap Analysis survey. ASTHO is also grateful for the financial support and technical assistance provided by CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases for this project. The project received direct funding through the CDC Cooperative Agreement to Improve the Nation’s Public Health Infrastructure with State Public Health Agencies/Systems, Award No. CDC-RFA-OT18-18020101SUPP18.
