The original trends frequentist model was developed to overcome statistical complications associated with FoodNet\u2019s catchment expansion during 1996\u20132004 but did not account for site-specific trends and treated year as a categorical variable. It was therefore sensitive to noise and single-year events, and shaped by trends in more populous sites.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This paper describes an enhanced Bayesian model that overcomes these challenges by treating year as continuous, including an interaction between year and site, and using splines to better capture non-linear trends.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The enhanced model generates improved uncertainty estimates, can estimate incidence for years not represented by the surveillance dataset, and is dataset-agnostic. By publishing a pipeline for running the enhanced model, it can be readily adapted (i) for modeling trends in individual sites or among specific populations; (ii) for use with alternative datasets; and (iii) to include additional covariates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>FoodNet generates the most up-to-date and highest-resolution enteric disease surveillance data in the United States.
