National Tracking Program

This website is designed to present data from the Florida Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) Program. The Florida EPHT program participates on national workgroups with other Tracking states and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to establish nationally consistent data and measures (also known as indicators) for environmental hazards and human health outcomes.

Understanding the relationship between an environmental hazard and adverse health outcome can be complicated by contributing risk factors, including genetics, lifestyle, or other unknown factors.  Indicators are a first attempt to examine the potential link between such hazards (like busy roads) with adverse health outcomes (like asthma). As the program expands, the list of indicators below will continue to grow as more indicators are developed by CDC and other Tracking states.

Please look for the limitations and supporting documentation that accompany each indicator data set.
