What Kinds of Disease Registries Are There?
The New York State Department of Health maintains several population based disease registries for both chronic and communicable disease. The registries related to chronic disease include the Cancer Registry, the Alzheimers and Other Dementias Registry and the Congenital Malformations Registry. The Cancer Registry and the Alzheimers and Other Dementias Registry are both maintained within the Division of Chronic Disease Prevention and Adult Health. More information about these registries is contained in separate documents.
