Introduction *
The Public Health Infrastructure focus area supports the goals and objectives of all other focus areas, particularly those that address preparedness and prevention or management of chronic disease or emphasize healthy behavioral choices. The public health infrastructure objectives encompass Tribal, rural, and urban populations. They focus on four components: data and information systems, workforce, public health organizations, and prevention research.
