  • Description:
    The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) conducted the first National Profile of Local Health Departments (Profile) study from 1989 to 1990. This study helped to define a local health department (LHD) and describe how funding, staffing, governance, and activities of LHDs vary across the United States (U.S.). In the three decades since, NACCHO has conducted an additional nine Profile studies, including in 2022. All Profile studies have been funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); beginning with the 2008 Profile study, NACCHO has also received funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).

    The purpose of the Profile study is to develop a comprehensive and accurate description of LHD infrastructure and practice. Data from the Profile study are used by many people and organizations across the U.S. For example, LHD staff members use the data to compare their LHD or those within their states to others nationwide; data are used to inform public health policy at the local, state, and federal levels and can support projects to improve local public health practice; and data are used in universities to educate future public health workforce members about LHDs and by researchers to address questions about public health practice. Users can also access Geographic Information System (GIS) shapefiles of Profile study LHD jurisdictions to support their research. NACCHO staff use Profile data to develop programs and resources that meet the needs of LHDs and to advocate effectively for LHDs.
