Her presentation includes an overview of data around how long it takes to implement statewide screening for a new disorder as well facilitators and challenges associated with statewide screening.
- New Disorders Implementation Checklist - This checklist was developed by the New Disorders Workgroup to assist NBS programs as they prepare to screen for a new disorder.
