Methodology
From the 2008 National Profile of Local Health Departments (LHD):
[NUMERATOR:]
A number of sets of competencies related to public health practice have been developed. Indicate:
- ALL of the sets of competencies with which you are familiar, and
- If and how your LHD has used each set.
[One of the three sets of competencies is "Core competencies for public health workers (Council on Linkages)."]
[One of the four choices on how the LHD has used the set is "Preparing job descriptions."]
This objective currently does not measure use of core competencies in performance evaluations.
