Abstract

The New York City (NYC) Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (Health Department) surveyed practicing NYC physicians to quantify Health Department resource use. Although the Health Department successfully reaches most physicians, and information is valued in practice, knowledge of several key resources was low. Findings suggested 3 recommendations for all local health departments seeking to enhance engagement with practicing physicians: (1) capitalize on physician interest, (2) engage physicians early and often, and (3) make interaction with the health department easy. Also, older physicians may require targeted outreach.
