ASTHO, with support from CDC Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics, conducted a survey to assess state and territorial health agencies' expertise and needs in using infectious disease forecasts and analytic techniques. Senior deputies from 28 jurisdictions submitted responses, which will help to inform health agency communications and decision-making efforts. The information in this report, fielded from March – May 2023, provides a comprehensive overview of the needs assessment results as well as key takeaways.
