Although asthma affects more than 14 million persons in the United States, there have been no nationally coordinated efforts to assist state health departments in developing asthma surveillance programs. To characterize asthma surveillance and control programs in public health departments in the United States, during March and April 1996, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists and CDC conducted a survey of state and territorial epidemiologists. This report presents the results of that survey, which indicate that most states lack the funding and data necessary to develop asthma surveillance programs.
尽管在美国有超过1400万人受到哮喘影响，但一直没有全国性的协调行动来协助各州卫生部门开展哮喘监测项目。为了了解美国公共卫生部门的哮喘监测与控制项目的情况，1996年3月和4月期间，州和地区流行病学家理事会以及疾病控制与预防中心对州和地区流行病学家进行了一项调查。本报告展示了该调查的结果，结果表明大多数州缺乏开展哮喘监测项目所需的资金和数据。
