Example of CDC DOSE Caveat and Limitation Language.docx (14.8 KB)

This is the example of the language the CDC DOSE system uses to describe the nonfatal overdoses during the COVID-19 pandemic.  For AZ purposes, we decided during the March 2021 Exploratory Analysis Subgroup/AZ BioSense Opioid Workgroup meeting to make a template of this language that can be adopted as canned caveat and limitation language when using the syndromic surveillance data.  This can be especially helpful to reference when considering the sharing of syndromic surveillance data with external partners on public facing webpages, dashboards, etc. 

If you would like to use, share, present your syndromic surveillance data on with external partners on public facing webpages, dashboards, etc, contact the ADHS Syndromic Surveillance Program 14 days in advance for approval at syndromicsurveillance@azdhs.gov.
