This research project is a qualitative, descriptive case study of local bioterrorism and public health preparedness practices and organization in a large county public health department. The overall objective of his research is to provide empirical detail and analysis for two largely understudied aspects of preparedness: the "dual use" model and the role of the public (in general) and specific populations (in particular). The specific aims for this research are as follows. 1a. To delineate the programs, practices, technologies and social organization that constitute the "dual use" omponents of public health and bioterrorism preparedness in a local public health department. 1b. To describe the ways in which these enhance or impede more "traditional" (i.e., non-dual use) public wealth practices and organization, according to appropriate professional staff and select personnel. 1c. To solicit the views of relevant personnel regarding the effectiveness, utility or applicability of these lements in particular, and the "dual-use" preparedness model in general. 2. To describe the ways in which relevant local public health personnel incorporate information about, and engage/interact with, various populations, communities, and neighborhoods, as part of their public health preparedness responsibilities; and to describe how these processes factor in to (public health department) understandings of risks and threats facing various subpopulations and communities, as well as the jurisdiction as a whole. The principal method of data collection will be interviews with key participants primarily in a county public health department. This method will be coupled secondarily with document retrieval from public sources and through key participants. Such information will be important for policy-makers, funders, and practitioners and officials within public health circles, and may contribute important knowledge to debates within various professional and academic communities about the status of the dual use model as well as the (contested) nature of various threats facing the public at large.

该研究项目是一项针对大型县公共卫生部门的当地生物恐怖和公共卫生准备实践和组织的定性，描述性的案例研究。他的研究的总体目的是为两个准备好的备忘性方面提供经验细节和分析：“双重使用”模型以及公众（通常）（尤其是特定人群）的作用（尤其是）。这项研究的具体目的如下。 1a。描述构成当地公共卫生部门公共卫生和生物恐怖主义准备的“双重使用”计划的计划，实践，技术和社会组织。 1B。根据适当的专业员工和精选人员的说法，要描述它们增强或阻碍公共财富实践和组织的更多“传统”（即非双重用途）的方式。 1C。征求有关这些元素的有效性，效用或适用性的意见，特别是“双重使用”准备模型。 2。描述相关的当地公共卫生人员将有关各种人群，社区和社区的信息纳入公共卫生准备责任的一部分的方式；并描述这些过程如何考虑（公共卫生部门）对各种子群和社区以及整个管辖权面临的风险和威胁的理解。 数据收集的主要方法将是主要在县公共卫生部门的主要参与者的访谈。此方法将第二次与从公共来源和关键参与者的文件检索相结合。这些信息对于公共卫生界的决策者，资助者，从业人员和官员来说将很重要，并可能为各种专业和学术社区中有关双重使用模型的地位以及公众面临的各种威胁的（有争议的）性质的辩论提供重要的知识。
