description: Echinoderm Mutable Collagenous Tissues (MCTs) undergo nervously mediated, drastic and reversible changes in their passive mechanical properties. MCT mutability is involved in autotomy, posture maintenance and motility, and, as a consequence, it influences all aspects of echinoderm biology (nutrition, reproduction, habitat selection, self-defense and predatory behavior) representing a key-factor for the ecological success of the phylum. Besides this, MCT performance represents a topic of remarkable interest for many different applied fields. A biomimetic research route looks at MCTs as a source of inspiration for the development of smart and innovative biomaterials with great potential for in vitro and in vivo applications when controlled and reversible plasticization and/or stiffening of the extracellular matrix is required. The MIMESIS (Marine Invertebrate Models & Engineered Substrates for Innovative bio-Scaffolds) project has been developed within this scientific context. The selected echinoderm model is the common sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus. This project is based on a multidisciplinary approach combining functional biology with biomaterial engineering. A brief review of recent morphological, biomolecular, biomechanical and biochemical results on P. lividus MCTs are here presented in a biotechnological perspective, taking into account also a promising application regarding the use of MCT-derived substrata for cell culture studies.

description: To advance understanding of public health accreditation, we analyzed data on the North Carolina Local Health Department Accreditation program. We surveyed accredited health departments on barriers to and supports of accreditation preparation, performance on accreditation standards, and benefits and improvements after accreditation. All 48 accredited agencies responded to the survey. All agencies improved policies to prepare for accreditation and met most accreditation standards. Forty-six percent received local funds for accreditation preparation. The most common barrier to accreditation preparation was time and schedule limitations (79%). Fifty percent of agencies acted on suggestions for improvement, and 67% conducted quality improvement activities. Benefits of accreditation included improvements in local partnerships. Agencies of all sizes conducted accreditation activities, were successfully accredited, and experienced benefits resulting from accreditation.

description: The strength of the public health infrastructure determines the ability of local public health agencies to respond to emergencies and provide essential services. Organizational and systems capacity measures and assessments are important components of the public health infrastructure. Hospitals and governments have a long tradition of using financial indicators to assess fiscal and operational activities. We reviewed the literature on how hospitals use financial indicators to monitor financial risk, promote organizational sustainability, and improve organizational capacity. Given that financial indicators have not generally been employed by public health practitioners, we discuss how these measures can be applied to local public health agencies to improve their organizational capacity.

description: Objectives. We evaluated the effectiveness of a community-based participatory research–grounded intervention among women receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) with chronic health conditions in increasing (1) health care visits, (2) Medicaid knowledge and skills, and (3) health and functional status. Methods. We used a randomized controlled trial design to assign 432 women to a public health nurse case management plus Medicaid intervention or a wait control group. We assessed Medicaid outcomes pre- and posttraining; other outcomes were assessed at 3, 6, and 9 months. Results. Medicaid knowledge and skills improved (P<.001 for both). Intervention group participants were more likely to have a new mental health visit (odds ratio [OR]=1.92; P=.007), and this likelihood increased in higher-risk subgroups (OR=2.03 and 2.83; P=.04 and .006, respectively). Depression and functional status improved in the intervention group over time (P=.016 for both). No differences were found in routine or preventive care, or general health. Conclusions. Health outcomes among women receiving TANF can be improved with public health interventions. Additional strategies are needed to further reduce health disparities in this population.

description: We study the small scale distribution of the $L^2$ mass of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the flat torus $\mathbb T^d$. Given an orthonormal basis of eigenfunctions, we show the existence of a density one subsequence whose $L^2$ mass equidistributes at small scales. In dimension two our result holds all the way down to the Planck scale. For dimensions $d=3,4$ we can restrict to individual eigenspaces and show small scale equidistribution in that context. We also study irregularities of quantum equidistribution: We construct eigenfunctions whose $L^2$ mass does not equidistribute at all scales above the Planck scale. Additionally, in dimension $d=4$ we show the existence of eigenfunctions for which the proportion of $L^2$ mass in small balls blows up at certain scales.

description: In großen internationalen und nationalen Bildungsvergleichstudien haben computer-basierte Leistungstests papier-basierte Leistungstests weitgehend abgelöst. Aus Forschungsperspektive ist ein zentraler Vorteil dieser Art von Leistungstests die Möglichkeit der Sammlung von sogenannten Log- oder Prozessdaten. Die Struktur dieser Daten ist jedoch häufig komplex und Möglichkeiten der Bereitstellung dieser Daten für Sekundärnutzende sind vielfältig, aber auch herausfordernd. So können Logdaten beispielsweise abstrahiert als Logdaten-Indikatoren (z.B. Bearbeitungszeiten) mit vergleichsweise geringem Aufwand in bestehende Datenstrukturen eingefügt werden oder möglichst verlustfrei als rohe Logdaten in separaten Datenstrukturen bereitgestellt werden. Die Bereitstellung roher Logdaten ist jedoch häufig mit substanziellem Aufwand verbunden. Darüber hinaus gibt es noch wenig gesicherte Erkenntnisse darüber, welche Art von Logdaten in der Forschungspraxis überhaupt genutzt werden. Der vorliegende Beitrag möchte mit einer ersten Bedarfsanalyse helfen, diese Forschungslücke zu schließen. Er quantifiziert die aktuelle Nachfrage nach Logdaten im Feld der empirischen Bildungsforschung und berücksichtigt dabei insbesondere die Art der Logdaten. Hierzu wurden die Abstract-Bände verschiedener deutsch- und englischsprachiger Konferenzen im Zeitraum 2018 bis 2020 analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass es in der internationalen Forschung innerhalb dieses Zeitraums einen enormen Anstieg an Beiträgen auf Grundlage von Logdaten gab. Dabei wurden vor allem rohe Logdaten sowie Bearbeitungszeiten als spezifische Form von Logdaten-Indikatoren genutzt. Aus diesen Ergebnissen werden Empfehlungen für Forschungsdatenzentren und Datengeber:innen abgeleitet.

description: We introduce the BlueTides simulation and report initial results for the luminosity functions of the first galaxies and AGN, and their contribution to reionization. BlueTides was run on the BlueWaters cluster at NCSA from $z=99$ to $z=8.0$ and includes 2$\times$7040$^3$ particles in a $400$Mpc/h per side box, making it the largest hydrodynamic simulation ever performed at high redshift. BlueTides includes a pressure-entropy formulation of smoothed particle hydrodynamics, gas cooling, star formation (including molecular hydrogen), black hole growth and models for stellar and AGN feedback processes. The star formation rate density in the simulation is a good match to current observational data at $z\sim 8-10$. We find good agreement between observations and the predicted galaxy luminosity function in the currently observable range $-18\le M_{\mathrm UV} \le -22.5$ with some dust extinction required to match the abundance of brighter objects. BlueTides implements a patchy reionization model that produces a fluctuating UV background. BlueTides predicts number counts for galaxies fainter than current observational limits which are consistent with extrapolating the faint end slope of the luminosity function with a power law index $α\sim -1.8$ at $z\sim 8$ and redshift dependence of $α\sim (1+z)^{-0.4}$. The AGN population has a luminosity function well fit by a power law with a slope $α\sim -2.4$ that compares favourably with the deepest CANDELS-Goods fields. We investigate how these luminosity functions affect the progress of reionization, and find that a high Lyman-$α$ escape fraction ($f_\mathrm{esc} \sim 0.5$) is required if galaxies dominate the ionising photon budget during reionization. Smaller galaxy escape fractions imply a large contribution from faint AGN (down to $M_\mathrm{UV}=-12$) which results in a rapid reionization, disfavoured by current observations.

description: We explored the association between changes in local health department (LHD) resource levels with changes in health outcomes via a retrospective cohort study. We measured changes in expenditures and staffing reported by LHDs on the 1997 and 2005 National Association of County and City Health Officials surveys and assessed changes in state-level health outcomes with the America’s Health Rankings reports for those years. We used pairwise correlation and multivariate regression to analyze the association of changes in LHD resources with changes in health outcomes. Increases in LHD expenditures were significantly associated with decreases in infectious disease morbidity at the state level (P=.037), and increases in staffing were significantly associated with decreases in cardiovascular disease mortality (P=.014), controlling for other factors.

description: Causal inference with interference is a rapidly growing area. The literature has begun to relax the "no-interference" assumption that the treatment received by one individual does not affect the outcomes of other individuals. In this paper we briefly review the literature on causal inference in the presence of interference when treatments have been randomized. We then consider settings in which causal effects in the presence of interference are not identified, either because randomization alone does not suffice for identification or because treatment is not randomized and there may be unmeasured confounders of the treatment-outcome relationship. We develop sensitivity analysis techniques for these settings. We describe several sensitivity analysis techniques for the infectiousness effect which, in a vaccine trial, captures the effect of the vaccine of one person on protecting a second person from infection even if the first is infected. We also develop two sensitivity analysis techniques for causal effects under interference in the presence of unmeasured confounding which generalize analogous techniques when interference is absent. These two techniques for unmeasured confounding are compared and contrasted.

description: We investigate wave transport properties of Parity-Time (PT) symmetric lattices that are periodically modulated along the direction of propagation. We demonstrate that in the regime of unbroken PT-symmetry the system Floquet-Bloch modes may interfere constructively leading to either controlled oscillations or linear power absorption and amplification occurring exactly at the phase transition point. The differential power response is effected by the overlap of the gain and loss system distribution with wave intensity pattern that is formed through Rabi oscillations engaging the coupled Floquet-Bloch modes.
The Medicalization of Sleeplessness: A Public Health Concern

description: Sleeplessness, a universal condition with diverse causes, may be increasingly diagnosed and treated (or medicalized) as insomnia. We examined the trend in sleeplessness complaints, diagnoses, and prescriptions of sedative hypnotics in physician office visits from 1993 to 2007. Consistent with the medicalization hypothesis, sleeplessness complaints and insomnia diagnoses increased over time and were far outpaced by prescriptions for sedative hypnotics. Insomnia may be a public health concern, but potential overtreatment with marginally effective, expensive medications with nontrivial side effects raises definite population health concerns.

description: We assessed the progress since 2005 of state plans for pandemic influenza and found that 7 states had recommended steps to further clarify ethical processes or decisions; 6 states had made some progress but almost exclusively in hospital preparedness. Having a high-level public health leader, such as a health department director, committed to ethics was the key determinant of progress. Some state health departments may be destined to gain an appreciation for ethics through ethical mishaps.

description: The use of reverse time chaos allows the realization of hardware chaotic systems that can operate at speeds equivalent to existing state of the art while requiring significantly less complex circuitry. Matched filter decoding is possible for the reverse time system since it exhibits a closed form solution formed partially by a linear basis pulse. Coefficients have been calculated and are used to realize the matched filter digitally as a finite impulse response filter. Numerical simulations confirm that this correctly implements a matched filter that can be used for detection of the chaotic signal. In addition, the direct form of the filter has been implemented in hardware description language and demonstrates performance in agreement with numerical results.

Year: 2012

description: Objectives. The Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding is a proven approach to support breastfeeding in maternity settings; however, scant literature exists on the relative impact and interpretation of each step on breastfeeding. We assessed the Ten Steps and their relationship with in-hospital breastfeeding rates at facilities serving low-wealth populations and explored the outcomes to identify step-specific actions. Methods. We present descriptive and nonparametric comparisons and qualitative findings to examine the relationship between the Ten Steps and breastfeeding rates from each hospital using baseline data collection. Results. Some steps (1-policy, 2-training, 4-skin-to-skin, 6-no supplements, and 9-no artificial nipples, followed by 3-prenatal counseling, 7-rooming-in) reflected differences in relative baseline breastfeeding rates between settings. Key informant interviews revealed misunderstanding of some steps. Conclusions. Self-appraisal may be less valid when not all elements of the criteria for evaluating Step implementation may be fully understood. Limited exposure and understanding may lead to self-appraisal errors, resulting in scores that are not reflective of actual practices. Nonetheless, the indication that breastfeeding rates may be better mirrored by a defined subset of steps may provide some constructive insight toward prioritizing implementation activities and simplifying assessment. These issues will be further explored in the next phase of this study.

description: Objectives. We investigated whether taxing sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) would improve the diets of households in Brazil. Methods. We used household food consumption data that the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics collected in 2002–2003 from a nationally representative sample of 48470 Brazilian households. The consumption of SSBs is expressed as the total SSB calories consumed and as the SSB percentage of the total calories purchased. We investigated price elasticity with regression models, controlling for demographic variables, income, and prices of all other foods and drinks. Results. Increases in the price of SSBs led to reductions in consumption. A 1.00% increase in the price of SSBs led to a 0.85% reduction of SSB calories consumed (1.03% reduction for the poor and 0.63% for the nonpoor). Increased income had a positive effect on SSB consumption, but the effect was less than half the size of the price elasticity (0.41% increase in SSB calories consumed for every 1.00% increase in income). Conclusions. High SSB price elasticity in Brazil indicates that a tax on purchased weight or volume would lead to reductions in SSB consumption.
Taking It Like a Man: Masculine Role Norms as Moderators of the Racial Discrimination–Depressive Symptoms Association Among African American Men
Creators: name: Hammond, Wizdom Powell
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Objectives. I examined the association between everyday racial discrimination and depressive symptoms and explored the moderating role of 2 dimensions of masculine role norms, restrictive emotionality and self-reliance. Methods. Cross-sectional survey data from 674 African American men aged 18 years and older recruited primarily frombarbershops in 4 US regions (2003–2010) were used. Direct and moderated associations were assessed with multivariate linear regression analyses for the overall sample and different age groups. Models were adjusted for recruitment site, sociodemographics, masculine role norms salience, and general social stress. Results. Everyday racial discrimination was associated with more depressive symptoms across all age groups. Higher restrictive emotionality was associated with more depressive symptoms among men aged 18 to 29 and 30 to 39 years. Self-reliance was associated with fewer depressive symptoms among men aged 18 to 29 years and 40 years and older. The positive association between everyday racial discrimination and depressive symptoms was stronger among men with high restrictive emotionality, but this moderated effect was limited to men older than 30 years. Conclusions. Interventions designed to reduce African American men’s depression instigated by racism should be life-course specific and address masculine role norms that encourage emotion restriction.

description: Objectives. We examined the prevalence and correlates of self-reported lifetime diagnosis of asthma and current asthma among same-sex and opposite-sex partnered adults. Methods. Data were from the 2004 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, in which same-sex partnership was a response option to a family planning item in the core questionnaire. Self-reported lifetime diagnosis of asthma and current asthma were examined in logistic regression models adjusted for demographic characteristics and asthma-related confounding factors and stratified by both gender and same-sex partnership status. Results. Significantly higher proportions of same-sex partnered male and female respondents reported lifetime and current asthma compared with their opposite-sex partnered peers. In adjusted analyses, same-sex partnership status remained significantly associated with asthma outcomes among men and women, with odds ratios ranging from 1.57 to 2.34. Conclusions. Results corroborated past studies that indicated asthma disproportionately affects sexual minority populations. The addition of sexual minority status questions to federal survey projects is key to further exploring health disparities in this population. Future studies are needed to investigate the etiology of this disparity.

description: The distribution and general population characteristics of Pseudanchialina pusilla (Sars, 1883) were evaluated based on zooplankton collections obtained from different seasonal surveys conducted in 2004-2006 in the eastern Arabian Sea as part of a multidisciplinary project Marine Research on Living Resources Assessment Program. P. pusilla exhibits a wide range of variations in its population dynamics in the study area and their population density over the entire study area ranged from 0 to 12000 ind.1000 m-3. The highest abundance was during the Southwest monsoon (SWM) of 2004 (43.4% of the total sampled population) followed by the inter monsoon (IM) of 2005 (37.0%) and Northeast monsoon (NEM) of 2006 (19.6%). Temperature and salinity appeared to have little influence on the general distribution of P. pusilla in the study area. The number of egg/embryo carried by females varied from 4 to 8 exhibited a positive correlation with female and size. The egg diameter ranged from 0.30-0.42 mm and was independent of female size. Mature individuals total body size varied from 2.6-3.2 mm and 2.5-3.3 mm in males and females, respectively.

description: Variability in the structure of the meiobenthic copepod communities was studied among three vent sites on the
 East Pacific Rise. One of the sites was dominated by the mussel Bathymodiolus thermophilus, and the other two of the sites
 were dominated by the tubeworm Riftia pachyptila. In addition to the differences in the dominant megafauna, the maximum
 temperatures were much lower at the mussel-dominated sites, and the temperature to sulfide ratio was different between the
 tubeworm-dominated sites. A total of 22 vent endemic siphonostomatoid copepod species and 5 harpacticoid copepod
 species were identified among the three sites. Copepod abundance was low at all sites (< 1-31 ind. 10 cm-2). Species
 richness ranged from 6-14, Shannon-Wiener diversity indices from 1.3-2.3, and Pielou's evenness indices between 0.6-0.9
 were found. Differences were detected in abundance and Shannon-Wiener diversity between the mussel site and one tube-
 worm site. Multivariate analyses pointed to a relative homogenous mussel bed community and a heterogenous tubeworm
 community. The majority of species were primary consumers feeding on detritus. Both copepod sexes and, for the first time,
 all copepodite stages were detected in the samples.
Magnetism in the three-dimensional layered Lieb lattice: Enhanced transition temperature via flat-band and Van Hove singularities

description: We describe the enhanced magnetic transition temperatures $T_c$ of two-component fermions in three-dimensional layered Lieb lattices, which are created in cold atom experiments. We determine the phase diagram at half-filling using the dynamical mean-field theory. The dominant mechanism of enhanced $T_c$ gradually changes from the (delta-functional) flat-band to the (logarithmic) Van Hove singularity as the interlayer hopping increases. We elucidate that the interaction induces an effective flat-band singularity from a dispersive flat (or narrow) band. We offer a general analytical framework for investigating the singularity effects, where a singularity is treated as one parameter in the density of states. This framework provides a unified description of the singularity-induced phase transitions, such as magnetism and superconductivity, where the weight of the singularity characterizes physical quantities. This treatment of the flat-band provides the transition temperature and magnetization as a universal form (i.e., including the Lambert function). We also elucidate a specific feature of the magnetic crossover in magnetization at finite temperatures.

L'AUXOSPORULATION CHEZ UNE TABELLARIACÉE MARINE, GRAMMATOPHORA MARINA (LYNGB.) KÜTZ (DIATOMÉE)
Creators: name: MAGNE-SIMON, Marie-France
Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 1962

description: Hitherto, the details of the formation of auxospores by Grammatophora marina were unknown. It was established only that they existed, that they are binucleate at a certain stage of development, and it was supposed that they were formed by a sexual process.
The observations of the author on this species have revealed that auxos- porulation involves meiosis, followed by copulation of haploid gametes. Meiosis takes place in identical fashion in males and females, and results in the formation of a single haploid gamete per gametocyst, following the elimination of 3 of the 4 nuclei. Copulation occurs in the frustula of the female gametocysts, giving a diploid spore which rounds up, leaves the frustula, and lengthens considerably while forming at the same time a striated mucilagenous coat, or perizonium, which persists for a fairly long time. Shortly after formation of the perizonium, one observes within it the formation of the two silicated valves, one after the other, of the primary cell. These are about three times longer than those of the mother cell. Simultaneously, there takes place in the auxospore a metagenetic mitosis which can terminate in one of two ways. In one instance, apparently the less frequent situation, only one of the two telophase nuclei reforms completely: the other degenerates through pycnosis. In the other instance, the two nuclei are reconstituted side by side, but one lacks a nucleolus. The nucleus lacking a nucleolus is eventually separated from the rest of the cell by a cytoplasmic wall in which silica is deposited, forming a third valve within the first one. When the perizonium disappears, the first valve detaches itself, and the abnormal nucleus is eliminated in this fashion. In both instances there is produced at the end of auxosporulation a uninucleate cell, having three times the length of the cells from which it was formed, and from this cell new clone will arise.
The family of Tabellariaceae, which belongs to the Pennales, has for a long time been considered, for various reasons, t
Conceptual Shifts Needed to Understand the Dynamic Interactions of Genes, Environment, Epigenetics, Social Processes, and Behavioral Choices

description: Social and behavioral research in public health is often intimately tied to profound, but frequently neglected, biological influences from underlying genetic, environmental, and epigenetic events. The dynamic interplay between the life, social, and behavioral sciences often remains underappreciated and underutilized in addressing complex diseases and disorders and in developing effective remediation strategies. Using a case-study format, we present examples as to how the inclusion of genetic, environmental, and epigenetic data can augment social and behavioral health research by expanding the parameters of such studies, adding specificity to phenotypic assessments, and providing additional internal control in comparative studies. We highlight the important roles of gene–environment interactions and epigenetics as sources of phenotypic change and as a bridge between the life and social and behavioral sciences in the development of robust interdisciplinary analyses.

description: Objectives. We examined the association between mother-perceived neighborhood social capital and oral health status and dental care use in US children. Methods. We analyzed data for 67 388 children whose mothers participated in the 2007 National Survey of Children’s Health. We measured mothers’ perceived social capital with a 4-item social capital index (SCI) that captures reciprocal help, support, and trust in the neighborhood. Dependent variables were mother-perceived ratings of their child’s oral health, unmet dental care needs, and lack of a previous-year preventive dental visit. We performed bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses for each outcome. Results. After we controlled for potential confounders, children of mothers with high (SCI = 5–7) and lower levels (SCI ‡ 8) of social capital were 15% (P = .05) and about 40% (P £ .02), respectively, more likely to forgo preventive dental visits than were children of mothers with the highest social capital (SCI = 4). Mothers with the lowest SCI were 79% more likely to report unmet dental care needs for their children than were mothers with highest SCI (P = .01). Conclusions. A better understanding of social capital’s effects on children’s oral health risks may help address oral health disparities.
State Cigarette Excise Tax, Secondhand Smoke Exposure, and Periodontitis in US Nonsmokers

description: Objectives. We assessed the relationship of state cigarette excise tax with cigarette sales, secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure, and periodontitis among US lifetime nonsmokers. Methods. Cigarette excise tax and per capita sales data from 1983 to 1998 were obtained for 50 states and the District of Columbia. Periodontal data were analyzed for 3137 adults in 28 states from 3 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cycles (1999–2004). Measures of periodontal pocket depth and attachment level were used to classify people with moderate or severe periodontitis. SHS exposure was classified according to gender- or race/ethnicity–specific thresholds of serum cotinine concentration. Statistical analysis adjusted for the complex survey design. Results. For each additional $0.10 in excise tax, predicted sales decreased by 0.74 packs per person per month and adjusted odds of moderate or severe periodontitis decreased 22% (odds ratio [OR] = 0.78; 95% confidence interval [CI]= 0.62, 0.97). For each pack sold per person per month, adjusted odds of SHS exposure increased 28% (95% CI = 1.17, 1.40) and adjusted odds of periodontitis increased 15% (95% CI = 1.03, 1.29). Odds of periodontitis for those exposed to SHS were elevated 2-fold relative to those who were unexposed (OR = 2.03; 95% CI = 1.30, 3.20). Conclusions. Cigarette excise tax may protect nonsmokers against periodontitis.

description: During the expeditions  FAUNA IBERICA II and CANGREXO I off the coast of the Iberian peninsula, eighteen
 specimens of  Luitfriedia minuta gen. et sp. nov., were collected in Galicia (NW  Spain). The new species, which belongs to
 the sub-family  Eleutheromeniinae  of the family  Pararrhopaliidae, is characterized by a thick cuticle with hollow, acicular
 and hooked spicules; a pedal groove with one fold that does not enter the pallial cavity; the absence of a radula and a radular
 sac rudimentary; no dorsal pharyngeal gland; the ventral foregut glandular organs belong to the type A (according to Salvini-
 plawen, 1978); the midgut is devoid of a dorsal caecum; the posterior-most sole glands are enlarged and the unpaired genital
 orifice has a muscular sphincter. There are no copulatory and abdominal spicules; ten to twelve respiratory folds are present.
 The features of the new species are discussed and compared with those of other species of the subfamily.

description: Objectives. We assessed the timeliness, accuracy, and cost of a new electronic disease surveillance system at the local health department level. We describe practices associated with lower cost and better surveillance timeliness and accuracy. Methods. Interviews conducted May through August 2010 with local health department (LHD) staff at a simple random sample of 30 of 100 North Carolina counties provided information on surveillance practices and costs; we used surveillance system data to calculate timeliness and accuracy. We identified LHDs with best timeliness and accuracy and used these categories to compare surveillance practices and costs. Results. Local health departments in the top tertiles for surveillance timeliness and accuracy had a lower cost per case reported than LHDs with lower timeliness and accuracy ($71 and $124 per case reported, respectively; P = .03). Best surveillance practices fell into 2 domains: efficient use of the electronic surveillance system and use of surveillance data for local evaluation and program management. Conclusions. Timely and accurate surveillance can be achieved in the setting of restricted funding experienced by many LHDs. Adopting best surveillance practices may improve both efficiency and public health outcomes.
