Description:The ASTHO Profile of State Public Health, Volume Three highlights findings from the 2012 ASTHO Profile Survey. ASTHO is the national nonprofit organization representing public health agencies in the United States, its territories and freely-associated states, and the District of Columbia and the more than 100,000 public health professionals that these agencies employ. ASTHO members, the chief health officials of these jurisdictions, develop and influence public health policy and ensure excellence in state-based public health practice. ASTHO’s primary function is to track, evaluate, and advise its members on the impact and formation of public or private health policy that may affect them and provide them with guidance and technical assistance on improving the nation’s health.
The ASTHO Profile of State Public Health is the only comprehensive source of information about state public health agency activities, structure, and resources. Launched in 2007 and fielded every two to three years, the Profile Survey aims to define the scope of state public health services, identify variations in practice among state public health agencies, and contribute to the development of best practices in governmental public health.
This report describes the structure, functions, and resources of state health agencies and indicates what data are available for public use from the 2012 ASTHO Profile Survey. Comparisons by state governance classification, geographic region, and state population size are discussed when appropriate. Also, when applicable, the 2012 findings are compared with data from the 2010 and 2007 ASTHO Profile Surveys.
