The International Collaboration on Enteric
Disease Burden of Illness Studies
was established in 2004. The purpose of the
collaboration is to facilitate communication
between individuals who have conducted or
are interested in conducting studies to determine
the burden of enteric or Foodborne disease.
We offer a number of forums for sharing information
and technical advice on the design, implementation
and analysis of ‘burden of illness’ studies,
including a moderated list-serv, quarterly
conference calls and an annual meeting. Working
groups have been established to facilitate
data sharing on a number of collaborative
projects which aim to improve our understanding
of the global burden of disease and contribute
to global burden of enteric disease estimates.
