• Goal of the study (e.g., determine behavioral factors that influence changes in weight over time or evaluate program delivery processes):
  
  
  

CDC funded the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE), through the cooperative agreement, “Strengthening Public Health Systems and Services through the National Partnerships to Improve and Protect the Nation’s Health”. The National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP) Community of Practice (CoP) comprises approximately 1,400 syndromic surveillance practitioners across the country working at State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial (STLT) and federal levels. The goal of the survey would be to enhance member experience, and to identify topics for knowledge sharing events and/or trainings. This would ultimately advance public health data strategy (PHDS) goals.

Intended use of the resulting data (e.g., provide suggestions for improving community-based programs):

Results will provide suggestions for topics for knowledge sharing events and/or trainings. This will help the NSSP CoP achieve its mission to strengthen public health syndromic surveillance capabilities nationwide.

• Methods to be used to collect (e.g., prospective cohort design; randomized trial; etc.):

Combination open-ended, Likert scale, and multiple-choice questions in an anonymous survey offered to all 1,400 NSSP CoP members that are comprised of STLT public health workers.

• The subpopulation to be studied (e.g., school-age children in North Carolina, conference attendees):

NSSP CoP members comprised of State, tribal, local, and territorial public health public health workers.

• How data will be analyzed (e.g., logistic regression, descriptive statistics):

Descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis based on narrative and closed-scale responses.
