NACCHO created the HIV, STI, and Viral Hepatitis Survey Network as a means to increase our understanding of local health department (LHD) efforts, needs, challenges, and successes. The Survey Network is an important mechanism for gathering and sharing information so that NACCHO can effectively support LHD practice and advocate on behalf of LHDs for adequate resources and appropriate public health legislation. Join today!
Information is collected from the Survey Network through brief surveys distributed on a quarterly basis. Following each survey, NACCHO convenes virtual meetings with Survey Network members to discuss preliminary results. The findings advance NACCHO's ability to fulfill its mission to be a leader, partner, catalyst, and voice for local health departments. The results are shared with key partners and stakeholders and/or written up for publication or presented at national conferences. In the latter instance, data is reported in aggregate only and reports will not identify specific health departments.
Through the Survey Network, NACCHO also provides opportunities for peer learning and engagement among its members, and connection with federal and national partners. For more information about the Survey Network and details of membership,

The HIV, STI, & Viral Hepatitis Workgroup (HSHW) provides guidance and input on NACCHO’s HIV, STI, and viral hepatitis programmatic, policy, and advocacy efforts. Workgroup members provide a local perspective and voice for NACCHO’s work at the national level to support, advance, and promote the role of local health departments in the prevention, care, and treatment of HIV, STIs, and viral hepatitis. The workgroup provides a forum to discuss emerging and persistent issues in the field; identify and share best practices; review and provide input on new and existing initiatives; and develop and maintain NACCHO policy statements. The HSHW provides a valuable opportunity for peer learning and engagement with other experts in the field.
Workgroup applications for 2021-2023 are now open! Learn more and apply here.
