CONTEXT
In 2009, the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors published desirable competencies for professionals in public health chronic disease programs. Assessing the training needs of these professionals is an important step toward providing appropriate training programs in chronic disease prevention and control competencies.
OBJECTIVES
Conduct a survey of the chronic disease workforce in state and local health departments to identify professional training needs.
DESIGN
We conducted a cross-sectional survey of state, territorial, and local public health professionals who work in chronic disease programs to identify their self-reported training needs, using the membership lists of 3 professional organizations that included practitioners in chronic disease public health programs.
SETTING
The survey was national, used a convenience sample, and was conducted in 2011.
PARTICIPANTS
The survey was developed using an algorithm to select anonymous participants from the membership lists of the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors, the Directors for Health Promotion and Education, and the National Association of County & City Health Officials.
OUTCOME MEASURES
The survey included questions about professional background, chronic disease activities, confidence about skills, and needs for training.
RESULTS
The survey had 567 responses (38% response ratio). The majority of the respondents were female, non-Hispanic white, and 40 years or older. Respondents were not confident of their skills in health economics (38%) and technology and data management (23%). The most requested training topics were assessing the effects of policies, laws, and regulations (70%) and health economics (66%).
CONCLUSIONS
This survey included local, territorial, and state public health professionals who work in chronic disease programs. These reported training needs in quantitative measurement methods and policy-related topics suggest key subjects for future training and education curricula.
背景
2009年，美国国家慢性病主任协会公布了公共卫生慢性病项目专业人员的理想能力要求。评估这些专业人员的培训需求是朝着提供慢性病预防与控制能力方面的适当培训项目迈出的重要一步。
目的
对州和地方卫生部门的慢性病工作人员进行调查，以确定专业培训需求。
设计
我们对在慢性病项目中工作的州、领地和地方公共卫生专业人员进行了横断面调查，通过3个专业组织的成员名单来确定他们自我报告的培训需求，这3个专业组织包括慢性病公共卫生项目的从业者。
地点
该调查是全国性的，采用便利抽样，于2011年进行。
参与者
该调查通过一种算法从美国国家慢性病主任协会、健康促进与教育主任协会以及全国县市卫生官员协会的成员名单中选取匿名参与者。
结果指标
该调查包括有关专业背景、慢性病活动、技能信心以及培训需求的问题。
结果
该调查收到567份回复（回复率为38%）。大多数受访者为女性、非西班牙裔白人且年龄在40岁及以上。受访者对自己在卫生经济学（38%）以及技术和数据管理（23%）方面的技能缺乏信心。最需要的培训主题是评估政策、法律和法规的影响（70%）以及卫生经济学（66%）。
结论
该调查涵盖了在慢性病项目中工作的地方、领地和州公共卫生专业人员。这些在定量测量方法和政策相关主题方面报告的培训需求为未来培训和教育课程指明了关键主题。
