Description
Summary:Hendrix et al examine pool code compliance in multiple US jurisdictions and analyze aggregated pool inspection data collected during May 1-Sep 1, 2002, from six jurisdictions. They conclude that pool operation violations and immediate closures appear to be common in the US. Although the sampled jurisdictions are not necessarily representative of the US, the results underscore the public health importance of pool inspections. The results also underscore the potential for inspection data to better inform and direct public health decision-making regarding swimmer health and safety. A CDC editorial note is presented.
