尽管公共卫生领导人、倡导者和政策规划者多年来一直对此感兴趣，但距离上次有组织的公共卫生工作者统计已经过去了几十年。本文介绍了哥伦比亚大学护理学院卫生政策中心使用的方法，根据现有报告、摘要和调查，列举了 57 个州和地区的公共卫生劳动力。描述了公共卫生劳动力数据的复杂性，并说明了用于使用公共机构类别来描述劳动力特征的方案。由此产生的“当前最佳估计”引发了有关公共卫生劳动力数据库未来政策的许多问题。
Although it has been of interest to public health leaders, advocates, and policy planners for many years, decades have passed since the last organized count of public health workers. This article reports on methods used by the Columbia University School of Nursing, Center for Health Policy, to enumerate the public health workforce in 57 states and territories based on existing reports, summaries, and surveys. The complexity of public health workforce data is described and the scheme utilized to characterize the workforce using public agency categories is illustrated. The resulting “best current estimate” provokes many questions regarding future policy about a public health workforce database.
