MDH/Prevention and Health Promotion Administration, Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control, Baltimore, Maryland

The Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control (CCDPC) is responsible for directing the data team through a dynamic portfolio of projects which facilitate healthy lifestyles for Marylanders, with a focus on diabetes, heart disease and stroke prevention, including data management and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) program. This position will report to the CCDPC Deputy Director and be responsible for overseeing and coordinating operations of the data collection and management for all CCDPC activities. This position will manage all aspects of the Maryland BRFSS program, including the program budget and at least one federal grant supporting the program, as well as other surveillance projects (e.g. MENDS).

The BRFSS is a statewide telephone survey that collects data from Maryland adults, regarding their health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions and use of preventive health services. This position will evaluate efficiency within data collection and management operations. Based on such evaluations, this position will make recommendations of data use to the department, as well as make recommendations for new policies, standards and workflow procedures. Finally, this position will not only provide timely data to internal and external partners, but will also assist partners in understanding and effectively utilizing surveillance data, in order to successfully share such data with public health programs, policies and decisions.

This position will work collaboratively with other Center staff members to inform programs related to chronic disease (e.g. heart disease, diabetes) and associated risk factors (e.g. poor nutrition, physical inactivity, obesity). This position will be located at the Maryland Department of Health's CCDPC division.
