Synoptic Analysis of ASTHO, NACCHO, NALBOH Surveys

Surveys of State and Local Health Departments and Local Boards of Health Synoptic Analysis of the Questionnaires

The following pages represent the initial synoptic analysis of surveys from Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) administered 2007 , National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) administered 2005, and National Association of Local Boards of Health (NALBOH), administered 1996. This is a side-by-side comparison of the three surveys as of 2007. This is intended to guide the researcher or practitioner who is looking to examine relationships between the three surveys for benchmarking or comparison purposes. There are two sections of this analysis.

The first section, the Activities Comparison examines questions regarding the availability of certain activities performed either by the health department/board organization or by another entity.  A closer look at the activities in this analysis allows a better knowledge of the completeness of each survey and possible inclusion, in new survey instruments, of missing factors or if comparable information is available across the various levels of public health organizations.

The second section, Question Comparison, takes an in-depth cross-sectional look at the specific questions asked by each survey regarding the structure, governance, administrative and organization issues for each respondent. This allows for cross comparisons of each respondent on key administrative variables.
