• Description:
  In 2021, ASTHO convened a workgroup of public health experts to assess the 2013 CDC/CSTE Cancer Cluster Investigation Guidelines for updates and revisions. The group had expertise in epidemiology, toxicology, surveillance systems, and communication. Members of the workgroup were quite familiar with such investigations and how to use the Guidelines, and represented geographically diverse local, state, tribal, and non-profit public health organizations. Further, they supported ongoing application of the 2013 Cancer Cluster Guidelines and recommended three key steps for improvement.
