NNDSS Disease Surveillance Normalizer

Clean, normalized weekly disease surveillance records from the CDC National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS). The Actor preserves source identifiers while standardizing disease labels, locations, epidemiological dates, case counts, and reporting flags.

Why use this Actor?

Public-health analysts, epidemiologists, research teams, insurers, and health-tech companies can query a consistent dataset without manually cleaning CDC spreadsheet-style fields. Common aliases are unified (for example, fluInfluenza and USAUS RESIDENTS), locations are canonicalized, numeric fields are typed, and source provenance is retained.

Input parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
diseasestringOptional partial disease label, e.g. Anthrax
locationstringOptional state, region, or US RESIDENTS
yearintegerOptional epidemiological year
maxResultsintegerMaximum records (default 100, max 5,000)

Example input

{"disease":"Anthrax","location":"US RESIDENTS","year":2022,"maxResults":10}

Normalized output

Each dataset item contains location, numeric year, week, canonical disease, numeric reportedCases, reportingFlags, sourceSortOrder, and source.

{"location":"US RESIDENTS","year":2022,"week":1,"disease":"Anthrax","reportedCases":0,"reportingFlags":{},"sourceSortOrder":"20220100001","source":"CDC NNDSS Weekly Data"}

The run also provides a human-readable summary table in the OUTPUT key and machine-readable run metadata in STATS.

Data source and attribution

Source: [CDC NNDSS Weekly Data](https://data.cdc.gov/ de/), accessed through the public Socrata API dataset x9gk-5huc. The records are provisional and should be interpreted according to CDC documentation.
