A survey of state health agencies was conducted to determine agreement and disagreement of state health officers with the recommendations contained in The Future of Public Health issued by the Institute of Medicine in 1988. The survey also measured the extent to which the IOM recommendations were judged currently in place or in the process of being implemented in the states. The survey showed almost unanimous consensus among the nation's state health officers for the vast majority of the recommendations. There was less consensus concerning the appropriateness of locating substance abuse, Medicaid, mental health, and regulation of health professions within state departments of health. However, a significant proportion of health officers favored a health agency location for these responsibilities (72%, 52%, 48%, and 38% respectively).
对各州卫生机构进行了一项调查，以确定各州卫生官员对医学研究所1988年发布的《公共卫生的未来》中所载建议的赞同和不赞同意见。该调查还衡量了医学研究所的建议在各州目前被认为已经到位或正在实施的程度。调查显示，全国各州卫生官员对绝大多数建议几乎达成了一致共识。对于将药物滥用、医疗补助、心理健康和卫生专业监管置于州卫生部门内是否合适，共识较少。然而，相当一部分卫生官员赞成由卫生机构承担这些职责（分别为72%、52%、48%和38%）。
