Abstract

This article summarizes the development and refinement of the ST ate A ctivation and R esponse (STAR) technical assistance program. STAR is an evidence-based, practice-informed approach to supporting state and territorial health departments with developing, implementing, and evaluating chronic disease prevention and health promotion programs. The National Association of Chronic Disease Directors developed the first version of this program during 2008 and has iteratively updated the program based on organizational effectiveness literature, evidence-based public health practice, and state and territorial health department feedback. The current version of STAR was implemented during 2019; through the end of 2023, 15 states, and 1 territory participated in the program using the revised framework. This new iteration of STAR has been well-received by state and territorial health department participants, who have reported improvements to public health infrastructure and operations, workforce training and wellbeing, application of evidence-based practice and communication, and commitment to a shared mission.

国家激活和反应（STAR）：一种基于证据的、实践知情的公共卫生系统改进方法。

本文总结了国家激活和响应（STAR）技术援助计划的发展和完善。STAR是支持州和地区卫生部门制定、实施和评估慢性病预防和健康促进项目的一种循证、实践知情的方法。全国慢性疾病主任协会于2008年制定了该计划的第一版，并根据组织效率文献、循证公共卫生实践以及州和地区卫生部门的反馈反复更新了该计划。STAR的当前版本于2019年实施；到2023年底，15个州和1个地区使用修订后的框架参与了该计划。国家和地区卫生部门的参与者对STAR的新版本表示欢迎，他们报告说，公共卫生基础设施和业务、劳动力培训和福利、循证实践和沟通的应用以及对共同使命的承诺得到了改善。
