Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey (PH WINS)
Be part of PH WINS 2027!
If your health department did not participate in PH WINS 2024, now is the time to get involved. Complete the PH WINS 2027 General Interest Form to learn more about participating in the next cycle of the nation’s largest public health workforce survey and help inform efforts to strengthen the public health workforce nationwide. It only takes about 2 minutes.
PH WINS supports the governmental public health workforce by measuring strengths and gaps to inform future investments in funding, training, recruitment, and retention. Conducted in 2014, 2017, 2021, and 2024 by the de Beaumont Foundation and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, PH WINS is the only nationally representative source of data about the governmental public health workforce. It collects data on the demographics of the workforce and captures individual public health workers’ perspectives on key issues such as workforce engagement and morale, training needs, and emerging concepts in public health.
As a part of our commitment to assessing training needs for local health departments, the Region 2 Public Health Training Center facilitates the administration of the Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey (PH WINS) across New York and New Jersey.
