Child Survival Technical Support
Child survival programs strive to reduce illness and death through preventive health care programs aimed at infants, children, and mothers in the developing world. Macro supports the Child Survival Technical Support project through regional training events, telephone and in-person consulting, and dissemination of technical and informational documents, targeted specifically toward increasing the capacity of voluntary groups and grantees to achieve sustainable service delivery in public health interventions. Other assistance provided by Macro includes applied research, data collection, processing, information utilization, and ongoing program tracking.
Cancer Surveillance System
For the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Program of Cancer Registries-Cancer Surveillance System (NPCR-CSS), Macro provides an electronic system to collect and process data from 63 State and territorial cancer registries in the United States. It also provides the programming and related services necessary to develop, implement, and maintain this electronic system. Macro is developing an automated system that collects, processes, provides quality control, and reports on data quality, case completeness, and cancer incidence and mortality rates for the Nation, regions, and States. The treated data is published in public-use data formats and in a restricted-access data format for researchers.
