The Emerging Infections Programs (EIP)
is to 1) detect and monitor emerging pathogens, the diseases they
cause, and the factors influencing their emergence, and respond to
problems as they are identified, 2) integrate laboratory science
and epidemiology to optimize public health practice, 3) strengthen
infrastructure to support surveillance and research and to
implement prevention and control programs, and to 4) ensure
implementation of prevention strategies and communication of public
health information about emerging diseases. Surveillance efforts of
the core EIP activities generate reliable estimates of the
incidence of certain infections and provide the foundation for a
variety of epidemiologic studies. This is a non-substantive change
request. All requested changes represent minor modifications to
already-approved instruments including revised formatting,
rewording, new answer options, and the addition/subtraction of a
limited number of questions. The burden has been reduced with
adjustments to multiple instruments.
