Abstract: This is a one-time information collection designed to thoroughly describe the health department EH workforce on: 1) the current supply of EH professionals; 2) EH workforce demographics and professional roles; 3) gaps in current EH education and competencies and training needs; and 4) critical skills and resources needed to meet the evolving and emerging EH issues. Minor changes to the UNCOVER EH survey were proposed in October 2017.
