During the COVID-19 pandemic, media accounts emerged describing faith-based organizations (FBOs) working alongside health departments to support the COVID-19 response. In May 2021, the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) sent an electronic survey to the 59 ASTHO member jurisdictions and four major US cities to assess state and territorial engagement with FBOs. Findings suggest that public health officials in many jurisdictions were able to work effectively with FBOs during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide essential education and mitigation tools to diverse communities.

在 COVID-19 大流行期间,媒体报道描述了信仰组织 (FBO) 与卫生部门合作,支持 COVID-19 应对工作。2021 年 5 月,美国卫生与公众服务部、疾病控制与预防中心和州及地区卫生官员协会 (ASTHO) 向 59 个 ASTHO 成员管辖区和四个美国主要城市发送了一份电子调查,以评估州和地区与 FBO 的合作情况。调查结果表明,许多司法管辖区的公共卫生官员能够在 COVID-19 大流行期间与 FBO 有效合作,为不同社区提供重要的教育和缓解工具。(2022;112(3):397-400。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2021.306620)。
