Data from the
Pediatric Nutrition
Surveillance System
Go directly to the data reports.
The
Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System (PedNSS) is a program-
based
surveillance system that monitors the nutritional status of low-
income
infants, children and women in federally-funded maternal and child health
programs.
Wisconsin has submitted data from the WIC Program
to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for analysis and inclusion in PedNSS
since 1993. This surveillance data
can be used for program planning, management and evaluation; for the
development of health and nutrition interventions; and to monitor progress
toward state and local health plans.
The
CDC website (exit
DHS)
provides information
on PedNSS and explains how to interpret the data.
