Public Health Data

 
 

Public health data

One of St. Louis County Public Health's core foundational responsibilities is the collection, review, and analysis of health data. Organizing these data into Community Health Assessments (CHAs), Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIPs), and other topic-specific reports provides stakeholders, community organizations, and the public with data regarding health issues and concerns in the community. 

Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy

The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP; "SID-wrap") is a global leader in addressing public health preparedness and emerging infectious disease response. Founded in 2001, CIDRAP is part of the Research and Innovation Office at the University of Minnesota.

CIDRAP works to prevent illness and death from targeted infectious disease threats through research and the translation of scientific information into real-world, practical applications, policies, and solutions.

National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP)

Syndromic surveillance provides public health officials with a timely system for detecting, understanding, and monitoring health threats. By tracking symptoms of patients in EDs and other settings—before and after a diagnosis is confirmed, all in near real-time—public health can detect unusual levels of illness to determine whether a response is needed. 

Public health uses the NSSP to inform programmatic interventions involving:

  • Acute mental health distress
  • Accidental substance ingestion
  • Accidental falls 
  • Provisional death records

If you or your organization have any questions regarding syndromic surveillance, please reach out to us via our data request form
