Overview
This study examines local variation in public health agency budget reductions during the 2009-10 economic downturn in Washington and the impact of these reductions on public health decision-making and use of evidence-based practices. An existing statewide survey is being adapted and used to measure evidence-based practice implementation and service delivery at multiple points in time during the economic downturn.
