Proposed Project
National Public Health Performance Standards Program Local Public
Health Governance Assessment (OMB 0920-0580 exp 8/31/2010)--Extension--
Office of State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Office of State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support is proposing
to extend the formal, voluntary data collection that assesses the
capacity of local boards of health to deliver the essential services of
public health. Electronic data submission will be used when local
boards of health complete the public health assessment.
A three-year approval is being sought with the current data
collection instrument. The data collection instrument has been valuable
in assessing performance and capacity and identifying areas for
improvement.
From 1998-2002, the CDC National Public Health Performance
Standards Program convened workgroups with the National Association of
County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), The Association of State and
Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), the National Association of Local
Boards of Health (NALBOH), the American Public Health Association
(APHA), and the Public Health Foundation (PHF) to develop performance
standards for public health systems based on the essential services of
public health. In 2005, CDC reconvened workgroups with these same
organizations to revise the data collection instruments, in order to
ensure the standards remain current and improve user friendliness.
There is no cost to the respondent, other than their time.
