School Based Surveillance Research Opportunities

As a follow-up from the Research Committee's July webinar on school based surveillance research, Dr. Francisco Averhoff of the CDC has invited ISDS members to participate in research studies related to this topic.

Study areas include:

1. Why some schools K-12/Universities have outbreaks and not others (risk factors)
2. Use of school absenteeism data
3. Occupational risk for ILI in school personnel
4. Lessons learned about control of ILI in schools/universities
