This research project is a qualitative, descriptive case study of local bioterrorism and public health preparedness practices and organization in a large county public health department. The overall objective of his research is to provide empirical detail and analysis for two largely understudied aspects of preparedness: the "dual use" model and the role of the public (in general) and specific populations (in particular). The specific aims for this research are as follows. 1a. To delineate the programs, practices, technologies and social organization that constitute the "dual use" omponents of public health and bioterrorism preparedness in a local public health department. 1b. To describe the ways in which these enhance or impede more "traditional" (i.e., non-dual use) public wealth practices and organization, according to appropriate professional staff and select personnel. 1c. To solicit the views of relevant personnel regarding the effectiveness, utility or applicability of these lements in particular, and the "dual-use" preparedness model in general. 2. To describe the ways in which relevant local public health personnel incorporate information about, and engage/interact with, various populations, communities, and neighborhoods, as part of their public health preparedness responsibilities; and to describe how these processes factor in to (public health department) understandings of risks and threats facing various subpopulations and communities, as well as the jurisdiction as a whole. The principal method of data collection will be interviews with key participants primarily in a county public health department. This method will be coupled secondarily with document retrieval from public sources and through key participants. Such information will be important for policy-makers, funders, and practitioners and officials within public health circles, and may contribute important knowledge to debates within various professional and academic communities about the status of the dual use model as well as the (contested) nature of various threats facing the public at large.

该研究项目是对一个大县公共卫生部门当地生物恐怖主义和公共卫生准备实践和组织的定性、描述性案例研究。他研究的总体目标是为准备工作的两个很大程度上未被充分研究的方面提供实证细节和分析：“双重用途”模式以及公众（一般而言）和特定人群（特别）的作用。本研究的具体目的如下。 1a.描述构成地方公共卫生部门公共卫生和生物恐怖主义防备的“双重用途”组成部分的计划、实践、技术和社会组织。 1b.根据适当的专业人员和精选人员的说法，描述这些增强或阻碍更“传统”（即非双重用途）公共财富实践和组织的方式。 1c.征求相关人员对这些要素的有效性、实用性或适用性以及一般“双重用途”准备模式的意见。 2. 描述相关当地公共卫生人员如何纳入有关不同人群、社区和邻里的信息并与其互动/互动，作为其公共卫生防范责任的一部分；并描述这些过程如何影响（公共卫生部门）对不同人群和社区以及整个管辖范围所面临的风险和威胁的理解。 数据收集的主要方法是对县公共卫生部门的主要参与者进行访谈。其次，该方法将与公共来源和主要参与者的文档检索相结合。此类信息对于公共卫生界的政策制定者、资助者、从业者和官员来说非常重要，并且可能为各个专业和学术界关于双重用途模式的现状以及（有争议的）性质的辩论提供重要的知识。广大公众面临的各种威胁。
