While new social media data sources have the ability to improve the real-time assessment of a public health event, having self-reported data to leverage can aid public health authorities in investigative and response activities.  Building self-reporting data is particularly useful when addressing recurring issues or events.

Learning Areas:

Planning of health education strategies, interventions, and programs

Learning Objectives:
Describe an approach for generating self-reported data for a public health event.
