DD19-1906: Helping States to Collect Sickle Cell Disease Data

CDC is funding nine states for 1 year to build capacity for a statewide SCD surveillance (health monitoring) system: seven states will develop new frameworks for their surveillance systems and two states will provide technical assistance based on their SCD surveillance knowledge and experience. Capacity building will be achieved through a series of web-based learning sessions, in-person meetings, in-state and cross-state relationship building, and ongoing communication to create required partnerships, data sharing agreements, and the necessary data storage system.
