Promising practices in chronic disease prevention and control: a public health framework for action

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed this book to share its vision of how states and their partners can reduce the prevalence of chronic diseases and their risk factors by instituting comprehensive statewide programs. The recommendations for achieving this vision are based on prevention effectiveness research; program evaluations; and the expert opinions of national, state, and local leaders and public health practitioners, including CDC staff. In addition to describing some of the most promising practices available to state programs, the book provides numerous sources, including Web sites, that describe state and local examples of what can be achieved; state-of-the art strategies, methods, and tools; and training opportunities. We hope that this book will provide a framework that will help state and local health departments build new chronic disease prevention and control programs and enhance existing programs.On cover: Chronic Disease Prevention

Chronic disease . . . the public health challenge of the 21st century

"The United States spends significantly more on health care than any other nation. In 2006, our health care expenditure was over $7,000 per person, more than twice the average of 29 other developed countries. We also have one of the fastest growth rates in health spending, tripling our expenditures since 1990. Yet the average life expectancy in the United States is far below many other nations that spend less on health care each year. As a nation, more than 75% of our health care spending is on people with chronic conditions. These persistent conditions--the nation's leading causes of death and disability--leave in their wake deaths that could have been prevented, lifelong disability, compromised quality of life, and burgeoning health care costs." - p. 1"CS201478."Title from "cover" (viewed on March 4, 2009).Mode of access: Internet (Acrobat .pdf file: 2.02 MB, 18 p.).System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader.Includes bibliographical references (p. 13-16)

Healthy brain initiative : progress 2006-2011

"Cognitive health has only recently been recognized as an important issue for the public health system. Supported by a Congressional appropriation in fiscal year 2005, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established the Alzheimer's-specific segment of CDC's Healthy Aging Program, referred to as The Healthy Brain Initiative. CDC then formed a partnership with the Alzheimer's Association, National Institute on Aging, Administration on Aging, AARP, and other public and private sector organizations to launch the activities of The Healthy Brain Initiative. Together these organizations embarked on a deliberative 18-month process to examine the current state of knowledge regarding the promotion and protection of cognitive health, to identify important knowledge gaps, and to define the unique role and contributions of public health." - p. 2"CS223946-A"Mode of access: World Wide Web as an Acrobat .pdf file (1.53 MB, 36 p.).Bibliography: Healthy Brain Initiative publications (p. 33).Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
