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:
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poison Prevention
Every winter when the temperature drops, your furnace can become a silent killer. Gas- and oil-burning furnaces produce carbon monoxide (CO). CO is an invisible, odorless, poison gas that kills hundreds every year and makes thousands more sick.
Care Giving Tips for Families with Special Needs
Being informed, getting support, and taking care of yourself can help you and those you care for stay safe and healthy.
Diabetes and Pregnancy
Control your diabetes before and during pregnancy to help prevent birth defects and other poor outcomes, such as miscarriage or stillbirth.
International Adoption – Adoption Awareness Month
American parents adopt 12,000 children from abroad each year. International adoptees face unique health challenges. Find out about these health challenges, and make sure your child receives a medical exam upon arrival to the United States.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a contagious viral disease that can lead to serious health problems—especially for young children and older adults. There is no vaccine to prevent RSV. However, there are simple ways you can protect your child or yourself from getting sick during RSV season.
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. CDC Features may be syndicated to other Web sites at no cost. Learn more about Content Syndication.
