ADDM Network Austin Site Visit
On February 28th and 29th, we met with national leaders (Anita Washington, Project Officer, Monica DiRienzo, Clinical Lead, and Mary Patrick, Technical Monitor) of the CDC ADDM Network! The two-day visit consisted of providing CDC with an update on the progress of the project, live technical support, and clinical guidance. Project members were able to engage and participate in discussions with CDC staff and learned of additional techniques to collect data, track progress, and define a complete surveillance area. In our first year of surveillance, we are learning how to navigate all project objectives and working diligently to identify a prevalence of autism in Texas. The CDC visit was an opportunity to learn from leaders who have been doing this work for years!
