AB  - CONTEXT: Workforce surveillance efforts have long been called for in public 
      health: the Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey (PH WINS) answers 
      that call. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the state of the governmental public health 
      workforce among State Health Agency-Central Office (SHA-CO) staff across the 
      United States. DESIGN: The SHA leadership were contacted and invited to have 
      their agency participate in PH WINS 2017 as a census-based fielding. 
      Participating agencies provided staff lists, and staff were then directly invited 
      by e-mail to participate in a Web-based survey. Pearson and Rao-Scott chi analyses 
      are employed in descriptive analyses. Balanced repeated replication weights 
      account for design and nonresponse. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: SHA-CO staff. MAIN 
      OUTCOME MEASURES: The PH WINS focuses on 4 primary domains: perceptions of 
      workplace environment and job satisfaction, training needs, national trends, and 
      demographics. In addition, measures of intent to leave and employee burnout are 
      analyzed. RESULTS: The state governmental public health workforce is primarily 
      female (72%), non-Hispanic white (64%), and 46 years of age or older (59%). 
      Nearly one-third (31%) of the workforce is older than 55 years, with 9% aged 30 
      years or younger. Overall, 74% of respondents indicated that they had at least a 
      bachelor's degree, and 19% indicated having a public health degree of some kind. 
      Seventy-nine percent of the respondents indicated that they were somewhat/very 
      satisfied with their jobs. Approximately 47% of SHA-CO staff say that they are 
      considering leaving or are planning to retire. With respect to training needs, 
      the largest overall gaps for the state health agency workforce were observed in 
      budget and financial management, systems and strategic thinking, and developing a 
      vision for a healthy community. CONCLUSIONS: PH WINS represents the first 
      nationally representative survey of governmental public health staff in the 
      United States. It holds potential for wide usage from novel workforce research to 
      identifying and helping address practice-based needs.
