Profile of State Public Health
The ASTHO Profile of State and Territorial Public Health (Profile) is the only comprehensive source of information about state and territorial public health agency activities, structure, and resources. The Profile, started in 2007 and fielded every two to three years, 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.
