New Resources from the NPHPSP
CDC and the NPHPSP partners are pleased to announce
the availability of the new Version 2.0 performance
assessment instruments. The three NPHPSP performance
assessment instruments – for state public health
systems, local public health systems, and local
governing entities – are
available for download
in a PDF format and can also be ordered from CDC
through an on-line order
form or via the CDC helpdesk.
The updated tools are the result of an 18-month
practice-driven revision process. As part of this
process, the NPHPSP worked with subject matter experts
to ensure the standards reflect contemporary public
health practice. The update activities also included
some streamlining and other changes to improve the
user-friendliness of the tools. Click
here to learn
about the key changes that were implemented.
CDC and its NPHPSP partners have recently released
a promotional video about the National Public Health
Performance Standards Program. This video features
perspectives on the importance and value of the
program from a number of local, state, and federal
public health partners. The video is available for
viewing via this website.
Limited quantities will be available for order.
Contact CDC NPHPSP staff at
phpsp@cdc.gov
for more information.
The program has also recently produced documents
including only the model standards for each of the
three assessment instruments. Sites may want to
consider sharing the abbreviated document rather
than the full instrument with participants. It can
be used as an education resource about key activities
in public health practice. Single copies may be
ordered online or downloaded here:
To request additional copies, please
