Collect SMART featured in ASPPH/CDC webinar
Collect SMART, The Survey Management and Response Tool is a suite of software designed to help users manage and implement data collection efforts.
Project managers can access Collect SMART to determine where in their community to sample, and then upload the sample to their mobile devices installed with the Collect SMART app. They can also monitor team progress and location and analyze results in real-time as data is uploaded and stored securely on the cloud.
In July, NCIPH staff member Matt Simon, MA, presented information about Collect SMART at the webinar “Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) and the development of Collect SMART: Survey Management and Response Tools for assessing the health of your community” sponsored by ASPPH in collaboration with the CDC Office of Public Health Preparedness in Response. The webinar described a collaborative effort between the CDC-funded UNC PERLC, a local health department in North Carolina, and preparedness staff in Texas to overcome some of these barriers through the development and pilot testing of mobile data collection software and training materials.
