The Johns Hopkins Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities Epidemiology (CADDE) was established at the School of Public Health to increase understanding of the factors that lead to the development of autism and other developmental disabilities. CADDE is one of several Centers for Autism and Developmental Disabilities Research and Epidemiology (CADDRE) supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Center serves to foster communication, coordination, and collaboration among a multi-disciplinary team of researchers around the epidemiology of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Developmental Disabilities (DD). We also strive to bring epidemiologic data and research to public health and educational practitioners, as well as to interested ASD and DD public constituencies. Along with other Centers of Excellence, other surveillance programs, and the CDC's Center for Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, CADDE will help constitute a national resource on epidemiology of ASDs and other developmental disabilities.
