CDC.gov Features deliver actionable and timely health, safety and wellness messages. Here is a preview of the CDC.gov Health and Safety features of the week:
April is STD Awareness Month ~ STD Awareness Month, an annual observance to raise awareness about sexually transmitted diseases’ (STDs) impact on Americans' health and the importance of individuals discussing sexual health with their healthcare providers and partners. Increase knowledge about sexually transmitted infections and make STD testing a part of routine medical care.April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month ~ Approximately 794,000 children are confirmed by Child Protective Services each year as being abused or neglected. These confirmed cases, however, represent only a fraction of the true magnitude of the problem. CDC promotes the development of safe, stable, and nurturing relationships between children and their parents or caregivers.
Autism Research ~ Learn more about CDC’s Study to Explore Early Development (also called SEED), the largest collaborative scientific study to date of the risk factors of autism.
Health Disparities in Cancer ~ Increasing early cancer detection, promoting healthy lifestyles, and expanding access to health care help reduce inequalities in cancer among groups at greatest risk. Public health agencies, health care providers, and communities must partner to reduce disparities.
Healthy Community Design ~ Community design directly affects your health. Choose to live in communities that encourage physical activity as part of your daily routine. Join with your neighbors to make your community as healthy as possible.
Take Caution When Bats Are Near ~ Bats play an important role in our ecosystem. However, they are also associated with diseases deadly to humans. Learn how you can stay safe when bats are near.
CDC.gov feature articles are written by subject matter experts and health communicators, then edited to emphasize strong call-to-action messages and friendly, meaningful visuals. While most features are topic- or event-driven, some capture the full scope of CDC's work on cross-cutting topics such as staying healthy and safe over the holidays, sending kids back to school, or CDC's global programs and outreach.
