Objectives: The purpose of this research study was to determine whether specific local public health agency (LPHA) characteristics were associated with favorable county health status. Specifically, financial and administrative comparisons were made to determine whether variables such as budget size or number of employees, among others, were associated with community health status among the 120 counties in Kentucky. Other financial and administrative variables collected from LPHA data were also investigated in this study.
