چکیده
The Assessment Operation Group in the Washington State Department of Health is coordinating the development of guidelines related to data development and use in order to promote good professional practice among staff involved in assessment activities within the Washington State Department of Health and in Local Health Jurisdictions in Washington. While the guidelines are intended for an audience of differing levels of training related to data development and use, they assume a basic knowledge of epidemiology and biostatistics. They are not intended to recreate basic texts and other sources of information related to the topics covered by the guidelines, but rather they focus on issues commonly encountered in public health practice and where applicable, to issues unique to Washington state.
