Abstract: The purpose of OHHABS is 1) to provide a database for routine data collection at the state/territorial level to identify and characterize HAB events, HAB-associated illnesses, and HAB exposures in the United States and 2) to better inform and improve our understanding of HAB-associated illnesses and exposures through routine surveillance to inform public health policy and illness prevention efforts. OHHABS (electronic, year-round collection) includes questions about HAB events and HAB-associated-illness for human and animal cases. OHHABS, a web-based reporting system, is nationally available for state and territorial health departments to voluntarily report information about HAB-associated human and animal cases and HAB events.
