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:
Stay Healthy during the Holidays: Avoid Binge Drinking ~ During the holiday season, and throughout the year, individuals can put themselves, their family, and their community in danger of experiencing many harmful health and safety outcomes from binge drinking.
Managing Diabetes During the Holidays ~ Having diabetes shouldn't stop you from enjoying holiday celebrations and travel. With some planning and a little work, you can stay healthy on the road and at holiday gatherings with friends and family.
Gather and Share Your Family Health History ~ If you are concerned about a disease running in your family, collect your family history and talk to your doctor at your next visit. A doctor can evaluate all of the factors that may affect your risk of some diseases, including family
health history, and can recommend ways to reduce that risk.
Pneumonia Can Be Prevented – Vaccines Can Help ~ Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that is usually caused by bacteria or viruses. Globally, pneumonia causes more deaths than any other infectious disease. However, it can often be prevented with vaccines and can usually be
treated
with antibiotics or antiviral drugs.
Interactive Cancer Atlas (InCA) ~ The Interactive Cancer Atlas (InCA) allows you to create customized United States maps showing how many people were diagnosed with or died from cancer by cancer site, gender, race/ethnicity, and state during a given period.
Be Prepared: Staying Safe and Healthy in Winter Weather ~ Winter storms and cold temperatures can be hazardous, but if you plan ahead, you can stay safe and healthy. Prepare your home and cars. Keep emergency kits stocked. Be ready for power outages. Wear appropriate
clothing. Check on children, the elderly and pets.
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.
