Description:
For more than a decade, the Environmental Public Health Tracking Program (“Tracking Program”) has collected, integrated, and analyzed non-infectious disease and environmental data from a nationwide network of partners. The purpose of this Program is to deliver information and data to protect the nation from health issues arising from or directly related to environmental factors. The Tracking Program has amassed over one billion rows of validated data, collected on more than 20 different topic and content areas. Data have been captured from a variety of federal, state, and local programs that track health, exposures, environmental hazards, and other risk factors. While the amount and variety of data captured is an accomplishment in itself, the involved efforts to integrate and validate multiple data streams are what makes the Program a truly valuable and unique national resource. Through thoughtful application of these data, consumers and communities may be empowered to take action to promote health and wellbeing within their communities.

The purpose of this document is to communicate CDC’s five-year plan for environmental public health tracking efforts. The strategy presented serves as both a guiding framework for CDC activities and statement of capabilities to help the Program achieve its vision of healthy informed communities. This strategy represents the Program’s plan for how it will respond to and take advantage of the opportunities presented by recent and emerging advances in science and technology.
