This publication was developed by the Public
Health Foundation (PHF), under contract with the Office of Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (ODPHP), Office of Public Health and Science, U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services.
Primary PHF authors were Stacy Baker, M.S.Ed.;
Dianna Conrad, M.H.P.E; Michon Béchamps, M.H.S.; and Michael Barry. Deborah Maiese,
M.P.A., in ODPHP, served as the Project Officer.
The Public Health Foundation thanks the ODPHP
staff for their guidance and review, as well as their contribution of examples from the
national process. PHF also thanks the many Healthy People State Action Contacts, Regional
Health Administrators, Association of State and Territorial Health Officials staff, and
tribal contacts who provided assistance, reviewed drafts, and contributed tools and
examples from the field.
All feedback and examples inspired the final
document. We regret that space constraints did not permit us to include all examples and
suggestions.
