Join us for the ninth annual Tracking Awareness Week, themed “Be a Data Explorer!” This theme highlights unique data and tools on the MaineTracking Network that power public health action.
Data for Action
The MaineTracking Program hosts and displays data on many health and environmental topics. But Tracking is more than just data! This theme also highlights the network of people and partners that power the MaineTracking Network, and how people use data to bring about positive change and inform public health action to support healthier communities. During Tracking Awareness Week, the CDC Tracking Program, the MaineTracking Program and other partners will come together to highlight important environmental health issues.
Daily Themes
Each day on Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter) we will highlight messages about the useful tools and resources, programmatic successes, and utility of the MaineTracking Network. The daily posts will lead you to ‘badges’ hidden throughout the website that highlight unique data or exploration features useful for public health actions. Earn all the badges for the week and become a Master Data Explorer!
