One way to discover data or learn about the data on the Maine Tracking Network is to explore its metadata.
Operated by the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, MaineTracking Network connects data and measures to the people that use them to improve public health in Maine, using a web-based data portal.
Maine tracks certain health effects, exposures, and environmental hazards that have known relationships. We also track some health effects and environmental hazards that have suspected relationships.
MaineTracking connects communities, public health professionals, policy makers, state agencies, and others to the data they need to monitor public health, respond to health concerns, prioritize resources for public health action, and evaluate prevention activities.
Read the stories of these connections and how MaineTracking is improving environmental public health in Maine.
