  Much remains unknown about what causes ALS. The National ALS Registry was established in 2010 to describe the incidence and prevalence of ALS, describe the demographics of ALS patients, and examine the risk factors for the disease.
  
  This report provides information presented at the 2013 Annual ALS Surveillance Meeting. Each year the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) holds this meeting to update stakeholders on the progress of the National ALS Registry and to discuss strategies to further enhance the Registry.
