.

The goal of this survey was to add to current knowledge of the extent to which public health ethics figures into public health practice, what resources are being used, what resources might be needed and practitioners' interest in additional resources or training in ethics. This is a picture that we want to share as part of a collective effort to support ethics in public health practice.
