ABSTRACT
State and territorial health officials (STHOs) play a critical role in leading public health emergency response in their respective states. Through an exploratory qualitative study with 21 current or former STHOs, we sought to understand the issues that impact STHO decision making in public health responses. Initial findings suggest the need for structured decision making tools for use by leaders responding to public health emergencies, including COVID-19. Such tools could lead to more systematic responses by STHOs during public health crises.
