Contains current CDC recommendations and guidelines for the prevention, control, treatment and detection of infectious and chronic diseases, environmental hazards, natural or human-generated disasters, occupational diseases and injuries, intentional and unintentional injuries and disabilities and other public health conditions. The database includes either the full text of a document or a link to the internet site of documents available in portable document format (.pdf) only or, in limited cases, documents published outside CDC. Presently, there are over 400 documents containing up-to-date guidance and 80 documents archived for research or historical purposes maintained in the system. Over two-thirds of these documents were originally published in CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The rest are monographs, brochures, Web-based fact sheets, and other materials published by CDC or the U.S. Public Health Service, or articles by CDC authors in peer-reviewed journals. |
