Join a 90-minute PHDS 2.0 Focus Group to revisit CDC’s public health data strategy for FY 2024.

Why focus groups?

We want to gather input from state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) public health agencies as well as public health partners to inform the revision of Public Health Data Strategy (PHDS) goals and milestones for the new fiscal year. Topics in the focus groups will be a) resonance of current goals, b) prioritization of goals, and c) validation of the milestones set for the coming year. The PHDS 2.0 will be a tool to help CDC more efficiently and effectively work to collect, use, analyze, and share surveillance data to meet customer needs.

These focus groups will be conducted in a workshop format, where everyone’s voice will be heard.

What do we want to know?

We want to identify public health pain points and they are related to CDC goals. We also want to prioritize the goals & milestones to work more effectively at addressing these pain points.

We’ll initially have a topic-centered approach for these groups with a specific focus on the existing PHDS 1.0 goals:

Who should participate?

We want to hear from STLT public health agency staff who interact with surveillance data at any point along the lifecycle (including but not limited to epidemiologists, IT staff, nurses and administrators).
