Iodine Deficiency Disorders Database – IDDSTAT

About the IDD Database
The Current IDD Status (CIDDS) database aims to provide an ongoing assessment of the status of Iodine Deficiency Disorders in countries throughout the world, as well as progress of IDD control program activities. The database has been established through a series of responses to a questionnaire form developed by representatives of World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), and the International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (ICCIDD). The forms have been filled out primarily by global experts of the ICCIDD, and in some cases by country managers of IDD control programs. In addition, through a process recently undertaken by UNICEF New York, data have been updated by UNICEF country offices on salt production and salt iodization activities which have been incorporated into the CIDDS. Through distribution of the CIDDS, it is expected that a wider network of collaboration in the database may be achieved, whereby data inputs may be made from individuals and institutions involved in IDD control.
