AB  - CONTEXT: The Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) Standards & Measures 
      require the development and updating of collaborative community health 
      assessments (CHAs) and community health improvement plans (CHIPs). OBJECTIVE: The 
      goal of this study was to analyze the CHAs and CHIPs of PHAB-accredited health 
      departments to identify the types of partners engaged, as well as the objectives 
      selected to measure progress toward improving community health. DESIGN: The study 
      team extracted and coded data from documents from 158 CHA/CHIP processes 
      submitted as part of the accreditation process. Extracted data included 
      population size, health department type, data sources, and types of partner 
      organizations. Health outcome objectives were categorized by Healthy People 2020 
      Leading Health Indicator (LHI), as well as by the 7 broad areas in the PHAB 
      reaccreditation framework for population health outcomes reporting. PARTICIPANTS: 
      Participants included health departments accredited between 2013 and 2016 that 
      submitted CHAs and CHIPs to PHAB, including 138 CHAs/CHIPs from local health 
      departments and 20 from state health departments. RESULTS: All the CHAs/CHIPs 
      documented collaboration with a broad array of partners, with hospitals and 
      health care cited most frequently (99.0%). Other common partners included 
      nonprofit service organizations, education, business, and faith-based 
      organizations. Small health departments more frequently listed many partner 
      types, including law enforcement and education, compared with large health 
      departments. The majority of documents (88.6%) explicitly reference Healthy 
      People 2020 goals, with most addressing the LHIs nutrition/obesity/physical 
      activity and access to health services. The most common broad areas from PHAB's 
      reaccreditation framework were preventive health care and individual behavior. 
      CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the range of partners accredited health 
      departments engage with to collaborate on improving their communities' health as 
      well as the objectives used to measure community health improvement. This 
      illustrates the collaborative nature in which accredited health departments 
      tackle community priorities.
