Nationwide Survey of State Boards of Health

During 2002 and 2003, the Washington State Board of Health sought to place its work in a national context by better understanding the surveyed states nationwide to assess the number and types of state boards of health. This report describes the results of that study. It also includes information and discussion about efforts to reestablish state boards in two states, to generate a model public health act that could include a statewide advisory council, and to define public health governance performance standards that could apply to state boards of health.
