The Extent of Interorganizational Resource Sharing Among Local Health Departments

The Association With Organizational Characteristics and Institutional Factors

Resource sharing, arrangements between local health departments (LHDs) for joint programs or to share staff, is a growing occurrence.

This article describes the current state of resource sharing among LHDs and identifies the factors associated with resource sharing.
