Proposed Project
FoodNet Population Survey—Existing
Collection In Use Without an OMB
Control Number—National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Foodborne illnesses represent a
significant public health burden in the
United States. It is estimated that each
year, 48 million Americans (1 in 6)
become ill, 128,000 are hospitalized,
and 3,000 die as the result of a
foodborne illness. Since 1996, the
Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance
Network (FoodNet) has conducted
active population-based surveillance for
Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium,
Cyclospora, Listeria, Salmonella, Shiga
toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157
and non-O157, Shigella, Vibrio, and
Yersinia infections. Data from FoodNet
serve as the nation’s ‘‘report card’’ on
food safety by monitoring progress
toward CDC Healthy People 2020
objectives.
Evaluation of efforts to control
foodborne illnesses can only be done
effectively if there is an accurate
estimate of the total number of illness
that occur and if these estimates are
recalculated and monitored over time.
Total burden estimates of begin with an
accurate and reliable estimate of the
number of acute gastrointestinal illness
episodes that occur in the general
community. To more precisely estimate
this and to describe the frequency of
important exposures associated with
illness, FoodNet created the Population
Survey.
The FoodNet Population Survey is a
survey of persons residing in the
surveillance area. Data are collected on
the prevalence and severity of acute
gastrointestinal illness in the general
population, describe common
symptoms associated with diarrhea, and
determine the proportion of persons
with diarrhea who seek medical care.
The survey also collects data on
exposures (e.g. food, water, animal
contact) commonly associated with
foodborne illness. Information about
food exposures in the general public has
proved invaluable during outbreak
investigations. The ability to compare
exposures reported by outbreak cases to
the ‘background’ exposure in the general
population allows investigators to more
quickly pinpoint a source and enact
control measures. To date, five 12month cycles of the survey have been
completed without an existing OMB
number: 1996–1997, 1998–1999, 2000–
2001, 2002–2003, and 2006–2007. Data
has been shared with participating state
health departments and multiple
programs at CDC, is available to the
public through a summary report posted
to the FoodNet Web site, and also
available via individual data requests.
More than two dozen manuscripts
highlighting population survey data
have been published. We seek to
continue this important work.
The total annual burden is 6,000
hours.
