A survey assessed the extent to which state health departments monitor and prioritize the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's consensus set of health status indicators. A response rate of 100% was obtained. Although mortality indicators are often monitored, only 75.5% of the states monitor work-related injury deaths. Most states monitor the incidence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, measles, tuberculosis, and syphilis. Low birthweight, births to adolescents, and lack of prenatal care are monitored in nearly all states and are considered high-priority problems. Only 46.9% of states are monitoring poor air quality, and only 58.8% are monitoring childhood poverty. Survey results suggest a need for standardized assessment of indicators for policy development and program planning.
一项调查评估了各州卫生部门对疾病控制与预防中心的健康状况指标共识集进行监测并确定其优先次序的程度。获得了100%的回复率。虽然死亡率指标经常受到监测，但只有75.5%的州监测与工作相关的工伤死亡情况。大多数州监测获得性免疫缺陷综合征、麻疹、结核病和梅毒的发病率。几乎所有州都监测低出生体重、青少年生育以及缺乏产前护理的情况，这些被视为高度优先问题。只有46.9%的州监测空气质量差的情况，只有58.8%的州监测儿童贫困情况。调查结果表明，需要对指标进行标准化评估，以制定政策和规划项目。
