Indicators and Data

Environmental public health tracking is the ongoing collection, integration, analysis, and dissemination of data. It is essentially environmental public health surveillance. These data can be used to:

  • Quantify the magnitude of a public health problem
  • Detect unusual trends in health, exposures, and hazards
  • Identify populations at risk of environmentally related diseases or of exposure to hazards
  • Generate hypotheses about the relationship between health and the environment
  • Direct and evaluate control and prevention measures and individual actions
  • Facilitate policy development
Indicators
 
 

An environmental public health indicator provides information about a population's health status with respect to environmental factors. Tracking Indicators were developed in collaboration with national, state, and local environmental health partners. Here you can access detailed information about each indicator available on the Tracking Network.

Metadata are "data about data". Metadata describe the content, quality, and context of a dataset and provide links to additional information such as quality assurance documents and data dictionaries. The Tracking Network contains metadata records for datasets used to create the Tracking Indicators and for datasets maintained by national, state, and local environmental health partners.
