Description:The National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) has partnered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to highlight a collection of twenty-three success stories from the National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network (Tracking Network). These stories showcase the impact of using the Tracking Network in promoting health and preventing disease.
The Tracking Network, which is operated by CDC’s Environmental Health Tracking Branch, is a system of integrated health, exposure, and environmental hazard information and data obtained from a variety of national, state, and city sources. It presents what is known about where environmental hazards exist, where people are exposed to hazards, and how targeted action can protect health, reduce illness, and save lives. Using Tracking Network data, health departments leverage resources and strengthen capacity in various areas including chronic disease prevention.
Tracking in Action stories demonstrate how Tracking Network data are used to aid in activities such as city/state planning, targeted prevention efforts, raising awareness about disease risk in communities, enhancing surveillance efforts, completing community health assessments, and informing policy, among others. We hope the strategies in these stories inspire you to work with the Tracking Program on similar activities for your locale.
