Describing and characterizing the EH workforce is essential to identifying gaps in staffing, training, and ultimately ensuring EH professionals are prepared to meet future challenges. Because EH professionals play a crucial role in decreasing illness in our communities and protecting people from traditional and emerging environmental factors that may adversely affect human health, the workforce challenges facing this critical component of the public health system are a concern for public and community health.

This information will benefit the government and other entities by providing essential data to inform and support workforce development activities and initiatives and understand areas of practice and where gaps may exist in capacity to address current EH issues and future challenges.

Any contact information collected will be related to the respondents’ role in the organization. Participation will be voluntary. We expect approximately 80 percent of the estimated 20,000 EH professionals (16,000 respondents) to respond to the survey.

Proposed Project

    Understanding the Needs, Challenges, Opportunities, Vision and 
Emerging Roles in Environmental Health (UNCOVER EH)--New--National 
Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC)

Background and Brief Description

    The environmental health (EH) workforce is an essential component 
of the public health workforce. According to recent health department 
surveys, EH professionals are employed at approximately 85% of local 
health departments, 81% of state health departments, and 30% of tribal 
health departments. Describing and characterizing the EH workforce is 
essential to identifying gaps in staffing, training, and ultimately 
ensuring EH professionals are prepared to meet future challenges. 
Because EH professionals play a crucial role in decreasing illness in 
our communities and protecting people from traditional and emerging 
environmental factors that may adversely affect human health, the 
workforce challenges facing this critical component of the public 
health system are a concern for public and community health. CDC's goal 
is to create a strong, sustained, and prepared EH workforce to meet 
today's challenges and improve the health and safety of all. In order 
to meet this goal, it is necessary to first

describe and characterize the EH workforce to assess their needs, 
challenges, and opportunities.
    This is a one-time information collection designed to thoroughly 
describe the health department EH workforce on: (1) The current supply 
of EH professionals; (2) EH workforce demographics and professional 
roles; (3) gaps in current EH education and competencies and training 
needs; and (4) critical skills and resources needed to meet the 
evolving and emerging EH issues and challenges. This information will 
benefit the government and other entities by providing essential data 
to inform and support workforce development activities and initiatives 
and understand areas of practice and where gaps may exist in capacity 
to address current EH issues and future challenges.
    The survey will be offered to the estimated 20,000 EH professionals 
working within health departments. They will be enumerated and 
recruited by identifying a point of contact in each state, local, 
tribal, and territorial health department from whom a roster of EH 
professionals will be requested. A list of respondents and their 
business email addresses will be generated and used for recruitment and 
survey administration. Any contact information collected will be 
related to the respondents' role in the organization. Participation 
will be voluntary. We expect approximately 80 percent of the estimated 
20,000 EH professionals (16,000 respondents) to respond to the survey.
    Data will be collected one time from a census of members of the 
public health department EH workforce using a web-based survey 
instrument. The UNCOVER EH Survey will take approximately 30 minutes to 
complete per respondent. There will be no cost to respondents other 
than their time. The requested time burden is 8,269 hours.
