Purpose: The Johns Hopkins Public Health Infrastructure Training (JH-PHIT) tools aim is to enhance agency-wide response willingness of the local public health workforce toward a variety of representative scenarios across the all-hazards continuum. Toolkit Description: The JH-PHIT tool is a combination of survey methodology and practice based training to enhance the public health workforces willingness to respond. Based off of the results of the Johns Hopkins Public Health Infrastructure Response Survey Tool (which gauges the response willingness, attitudes, and beliefs of local public health workers toward an array of emergency scenarios), the Public Health Infrastructure Training (JH-PHIT) curriculum is then tailored to address response willingness gaps as identified. The JH-PHIT course is a 7 hour, blended learning, train-the-trainer curriculum for local health departments designed for completion over a 6-month period. JH-PHIT is comprised of three parts: 1. The first part of JH-PHIT is an in-person, facilitator-led discussion session 2. The second part of JH-PHIT comprises a series of independent activities designed to build efficacy and address employees' perceptions of threat constructively 3. The third part is a table top discussion as well as a role playing exercise and a "hotwash discussion to reinforce the knowledge as well as answer any further questions *The JH-PHIT tool can also function as a standalone tool, without the need for the JH-PHIRST survey. Who should use this toolkit?: The JH-PHIT training is intended for delivery to the entire workforce of any health department Benefits: JH-PHIT is intended to benefit those with occupational risks. It does this by enhancing agency-wide response willingness of the local public health workforce across the all-hazards continuum.
