| Description: | The Health Studies Branch (HSB) is collaborating with the Texas Department of Health and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) on a pilot surveillance project to track acute, nonoccupational, pesticide-related health conditions. The purpose of this surveillance program is to evaluate the public health impact of nonoccupational pesticide exposures in Texas. It involves active case finding and follow-up activities, outbreak investigations, and intervention/prevention activities. A final component will evaluate the program for completeness and representativeness of the case-finding effort.
