Problem
A review of current surveillance methods and any mandated reporting or methods for reporting the disease for providers. This section should discuss how data is collected at the state and national level. Who collects the data? What information is collected? Don't forget about popular studies (e.g., Framingham Heart Study), CDC, and other national surveillance systems (e.g., Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Systems/YRBSS). Note - surveillance and screening are not the same thing. You will not be discussing how to screen for a specific disease in this section. Your focus is on how we collect data for the disease/condition of interest.
