What aggregate information will be available to states that are implementing a coordinated statewide approach?
If state and local public health systems and governing entities conduct a coordinated assessment process using more than one NPHPSP instrument, a timeline should be identified for completing the assessments and submitting data. For example, the state and local participants may decide that all Local Instrument responses should be submitted within five months after an orientation or statewide kickoff occurs. It is critical for all jurisdictions to submit their data in a timely manner, so that the aggregate numbers reflect those of the entire state. Summary reports are generated with aggregate information about all scores.
