Geocoding in Major Health Data Systems, 2004 Able to Geocode MEPS NAMCS NHAMCS NHANES (combined with CSFII in 2002) NHDS NHIS NSDUH (formerly NHSDA) NSFG USRDS Unable to Geocode BRFSS HIV/AIDS MTF NCVS NNDSS NVSS – Mortality NVSS – Natality STDSS YRBSS Note: A major health data system is a data system responsible for tracking five or more Healthy People 2010 objectives. Excludes non-population-based major health data systems. Obj Target: 90%

Minimum Template for Population-Based Objectives Race: Socioeconomic Status: American Indian or Alaska Native Family Income Level Asian or Pacific Islander Poor Asian Near Poor Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander Middle/high income Black or African American White or Hispanic origin and race: Education Level Hispanic or Latino Not Hispanic or Latino Less than high school Black or African American High school graduate White At least some college Gender: Female Male

Additional Template Selections Geographic location Disability status Sexual orientation Select population (by age) Health insurance status Persons with chronic conditions Marital Status

Completeness of Population Template Obj Note: Includes population-based objectives and subobjectives. Source: CDC, National Center for Health Statistics. Percent of Objectives Target Full template Minimum population template

Objectives Tracked Regularly Note: Includes objectives and subobjectives. Source: CDC, National Center for Health Statistics. Obj Percent of objectives 2000 (expected) 2004 (actual) 2010 Target Tracked annually Tracked at least every three years

Data Released within 1 Year Note: Includes objectives and subobjectives tracked by a major health data system that releases the most recent data within 1 year of data collection. Source: CDC, National Center for Health Statistics. Obj Percent of objectives Target

Epidemiology Capacity Obj (proposed) Note: Formal training in epidemiology includes either academic coursework or other training in epidemiology. Source: Council of State & Territorial Epidemiologists. Number of State and Territorial Epidemiologists No formal training Formal training

Essential Public Health Services Source: Public Health Functions Steering Committee, July 1995

Use of Performance Measures for the Essential Public Health Services, April 2004 Obj (proposed) Source: National Public Health Performance Standards Program, CDC, PHPPO Fully or Substantially Met the Model Standard Use of National Performance Standards State Public Health Systems (Total: 50) Local Public Health Systems (Total: 2,315) Number of Systems

Filling the Infrastructure Data Gaps Infrastructure Survey of State and Local Health Officers ASTHO, NACCHO Tribal Infrastructure Taskforce and Survey IHS, CDC, HRSA, NACCHO, NIHB, CSTE Laboratory SurveyAssociation of Public Health Laboratories Public Health School Curricula Assessment Council on Linkages, ASPH, ATPM, CAMPHP and the Quad Council SponsorSurvey

Infrastructure Survey of State and Local Health Officers, 2004 Will measure: 23-1 Employee access to internet 23-2 Access to information on health indicators 23-3 Use of geocoding 23-5 Collection of health indicator data 23-8 Competencies for public health workers Continuing education and training Health improvement plans Model statutes for the essential public health services Data on public health expenditures Population-based prevention research Collaborative survey - ASTHO, NACCHO

Tribal Infrastructure Taskforce, Survey TBD The Taskforce was created to: Develop a model to assess and compare public health benchmarks Document the diverse population of tribal public health organizations Conduct a statistically valid survey to assess tribal public health infrastructure Collaboration between IHS, CDC, HRSA, NACCHO, National Indian Health Board (NIHB), CSTE

Laboratory Survey, 2004 Will measure: Comprehensive laboratory services to support the Essential Public Health Services Sponsored by the Association of Public Health Laboratories Proposed subobjectives a.Disease prevention, control, and surveillance b.Reference and specialized testing c.Emergency response d.Partnerships and communication e.Environmental health and protection f. Food safety g.Integrated data management h.Laboratory improvement and regulation i.Policy development j.Public Health related research k.Training and education

School Curricula Assessment, 2004 Will measure: 23-9 Proportion of schools that integrate core competencies in the Essential Public Health Services into the curricula: Schools of Public Health* Graduate public health programs* Academic nursing degree programs in public health and community health Sponsored by the Council on Linkages, in collaboration with the Association of Schools of Public Health, the Association of Teachers of Preventive Medicine, Council of Accredited Masters of Public Health Programs, and the Quad Council *Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) accredited schools
