STLT

UNCOVER EH presented a unique and unprecedented opportunity to collect information directly from EH professionals working at STLT health departments.

In November 2017, a link to a web-based survey consisting of multiple choice, scaled, rank ordered, and open-ended questions was e-mailed to 8,996 EH professionals working at STLT health departments.

We filtered this list to contain only e-mail addresses for EH professionals employed by STLT health departments.

UNCOVER EH, a comprehensive and tailored assessment designed specifically for EH, provided a much-needed description of the current STLT health department EH workforce in the U.S.

Though the objectives of this present study did not include EH workforce enumeration, our results show some consistency in various criteria pertaining to the STLT EH workforce.

STLT health departments vary considerably in capacity, partnerships, policy environment, programmatic focus, efficiency, and effectiveness.

To understand the diversity of STLT programmatic efforts, CDC used the 10 EEPHS and EnvPHPS to align first-year outcomes from the 11 grantees by each of the 10 EEPHS (Table 2).
