The program expands and enhances environmental public health surveillance capacity in Colorado and builds a network for awareness and risk communication in the state and locally. Tracking explores and develops measures of interest to Colorado and collaborates with other CDC-funded Environmental Public Health Tracking jurisdictions and academic partners on projects linking environmental and health outcome data.
