In 2001, through the Muscular Dystrophy Community Assistance Research and Education Amendments of 2001 (the MD-CARE Act), Congress authorized CDC to develop public health programs related to muscular dystrophy. In response to this act, CDC, along with key stakeholders in the muscular dystrophy community, have launched programs that focus on developing a DBMD tracking system, improving screening and diagnosis of DBMD, and improving services for people who have DBMD and their families.
