Join us in celebrating Tracking Awareness Week, July 7-11, 2025. This year’s theme is Through the Years – a reflection on all we have accomplished over 15+ years with the MaineTracking Network. During Tracking Awareness Week, MaineTracking Program, and other states and jurisdictions funded by the U.S. CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Program will come together to highlight the various ways public health professionals have used #DataForAction.
Daily Themes
Each day on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, we will share messages about the useful tools and resources, programmatic successes, and utility of MaineTracking.
Since 2009 when the Maine CDC launched the MaineTracking Network with free data on environmental health topics, we have never had as many users visit the website as when we launched our radon data topic in 2019! With town-level maps with 57,000 radon in air test results, radon continues to be one of our most visited data topics. #ThroughTheYears #TAWOver the past 15 years, the MaineTracking Program has published 40+ success stories on ways Mainers have used the MaineTracking #DataForAction. One of our favorite success stories is when Lewiston used the MaineTracking Network data to create a heat map of lead poisoning which was used to secure a $30 million grant for #GrowingOurTreeStreets. #ThroughTheYears #TAWFan Favorite: With 15 years of sharing data, we know what you want: data on tickborne diseases. In 2018 we published our first near-real time data dashboard on the MaineTracking Network with data about daily visits to the emergency department for tickborne diseases. #ThroughTheYears #TAWThe MaineTracking Network data helps create evidence-based solutions to public health challenges. Over the last 15 years, our collaboration with the US CDC Tracking has led to several successes, including helping the Maine CDC's new Office of Injury and Violence Prevention design a new data hub. Join us this Tracking Awareness Week in celebrating our past successes!
The Tracking Program brings together data and information on environment, exposures, health effects, and populations. These data empower people to make informed decisions about public and personal health. See how you can use data and tools on the MaineTracking Network to learn more about environmental health in your community, and then use that data to help solve public health problems.
