Conditions screened by state
source: Baby's First Test (Genetic Alliance)
year: N/A
summary/abstract:While all states require newborn screening for every infant, the number of conditions on state screening panels vary. Each state public health department decides which conditions are coded on its panel. They also develop and manage each state’s newborn screening program, which is designed to ensure that babies with out-of-range screening results are notified and receive diagnostic testing and follow-up care.
RUSP conditions by state:
Newborn screening is an evolving public health system that varies throughout the country. Focusing on conditions on the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel (RUSP) list, we’re working with states to keep you up-to-date on what is screened where. We’ve put together an interactive map that shows a high-level view of which states support screening for the various RUSP conditions. View the interactive map here.
