NCBDDD will collect data from
pediatric audiologists who provide services to children age 5 and
younger. The overall purpose of this study is to identify and
quantify the audiology facility resources in the U.S. Facility data
will be compiled into a distribution map for CDC-EHDI team and
state EHDI coordinators to visualize the geographic distribution of
infants who are lost to follow up in relationship to the pediatric
audiology clinic distribution. Since April 2010, the EHDI-PALS
workgroup has sought consensus on the loss to follow up/loss to
documentation issues facing EHDI programs.
