Abstract: The purpose of OHHABS is 1) to provide a database for routine data collection at the state/territorial level to identify and characterize HAB events, HAB-associated illnesses, and HAB exposures in the United States and 2) to better inform and improve our understanding of HAB-associated illnesses and exposures through routine surveillance to inform public health policy and illness prevention efforts. OHHABS (electronic, year-round collection) includes questions about HAB events and HAB-associated-illness for human and animal cases. OHHABS, a web-based reporting system, is nationally available for state and territorial health departments to voluntarily report information about HAB-associated human and animal cases and HAB events. This revision contains updates to OHHABS that better align with HAB information as we know it today. Changes include modifying questions, streamlining data collection methods, and the separation of the data collection instrument.
