The Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey (PH WINS) is an online survey of individual workers at governmental public health agencies fielded by the de Beaumont Foundation in partnership with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO). It captures individual governmental public health workers’ perspectives on key issues such as workforce engagement and morale, training needs, and addressing public health issues, and collects data on demographics of the workforce. PH WINS is the only nationally representative data source about the governmental public health workforce.
PH WINS is supported by the Big Cities Health Coalition (BCHC), Region V Public Health Training Center, Northwest Center for Public Health Practice, and the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO).
Learn more about the de Beaumont Foundation, which created PH WINS in conjunction with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials.
PH WINS 2021 was fielded from September 2021 to January 2022.
PH WINS was conducted from September 13, 2021 – January 14, 2022.
PH WINS surveys the entire public health workforce at participating state and local health agencies.
If your health agency agreed to participate in PH WINS, all employees in the agency received an invitation to complete the survey.
If your agency agreed to participate in PH WINS, your agency leadership shared the email addresses for staff with the PH WINS research team. Your email will be used only to administer the survey.
All participating agencies that met their required response rate will receive their agency-level reports in summer 2022. For more information, please contact [email protected].

Your agency will receive a report of aggregated results, and your answers will not be able to be traced back to you. Your agency will not have access to the data set or individual responses.
