First sentence: The definition for public health surveillance most often used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CDC/ATSDR) is "the ongoing systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of outcome-specific data for use in the planning, implementations, and evaluation of public health practice" (1).
