Isi artikelThe lack of a comprehensive data-collecting system for tracking environmental exposures and linking events to health effects in the United States has crippled scientific efforts to confidently associate most childhood diseases with suspected causative agents. The Nationwide Health Tracking Act of 2002 (S. 2054) will provide funding initiatives to begin the process of developing a nationwide network of databases intended to collect important data on environmental exposures and chronic diseases. This legislation was introduced March 21, 2001 in the Senate and the House. Although legislation is still pending, Congress has approved funding to begin the first steps in developing nationwide tracking efforts. Children, one of our nation’s most vulnerable populations, are a special focus of this effort. Nursing leadership, particularly as it relates to political advocacy for continued and improved funding, is essential if one is to unlock the mysteries behind causes in the upsurge in childhood diseases.
