Terms of Clearance:
Approved consistent with the understanding that CDC endeavors to more prominently display the data sources, limitations, scope/scale, and recommendations for interpretation of the tracking system (currently available on: https://ephtracking.cdc.gov/showIndicatorPages), and will communicate these limitations in any presentations or dissemination of the Tracking Network data. As the Tracking Network primarily collects certain health information from only 26 funded state and local health departments, and since there may exist variation across the jurisdictions' methods for collecting the information-- collected data are not nationally representative. This information is intended to gain insight into issues that are present at the state and local levels, and can be employed to inform regional or multi-state public health actions for those 26 grantees. Additionally, the Tracking Network also includes some national-level data that are relevant to environmental health, which is collected in collaboration with other federal programs.
