CDC may refer to:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the leading national public health institute of the United States. The CDC is a federal agency under the Department of Health and Human Services and is headquartered in unincorporated DeKalb County, Georgia, a few miles northeast of the Atlanta city limits.
Its main goal is to protect public health and safety through the control and prevention of disease, injury, and disability. The CDC focuses national attention on developing and applying disease control and prevention. It especially focuses its attention on infectious disease, food borne pathogens, environmental health, occupational safety and health, health promotion, injury prevention and educational activities designed to improve the health of United States citizens. In addition, the CDC researches and provides information on non-infectious diseases such as obesity and diabetes and is a founding member of the International Association of National Public Health Institutes.
The World Health Organization says more than 200 workers have died trying to curb the Ebola outbreak. Mark Strassmann has an inside look a the training medical workers receive before heading overseas.

CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta takes you inside the Centers for Disease Control where they are tracking the current Ebola crisis.
Probably the most recognized health institution in the world is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, located in Atlanta. It's also one of Georgia's biggest employers! Along with Teachable Moments about the CDC's history, definitions and descriptions of Epidemiology, Mutation, and Antibiotic Resistance, we also learned that you don't have to have a doctorate in biology to work at the CDC.
This video explains the many factors that have contributed to the obesity epidemic, and showcases several community initiatives taking place to prevent and reduce obesity. Obesity is a national epidemic and a major contributor to some of the leading causes of death in the U.S., including heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some types of cancer. We need to change our communities into places that strongly support healthy eating and active living.

Infections from tickborne diseases in the US are steadily increasing -- and new tickborne diseases have been discovered in recent years. Ticks are vectors that can carry infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites. When an infected tick bites a person or an animal, the tick’s saliva transmits infectious agents that can cause illness. Some ticks can transmit multiple diseases. These “co-infections” pose challenges for diagnosing, treating and preventing tickborne diseases.

Paul Mead, MD - Chief of Epidemiology and Surveillance Activity of The Bacterial Diseases Branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers the perspective from the country's lead public health agency.
Dr. Julie Gerberding discusses business at the nation's headquarters for monitoring disease threats, the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
Public health epidemiologists track diseases to figure out what caused them, how they are spread, and who is affected and at risk. You will learn the importance of “time, place, and person” to epidemiologists and go through the steps they take to investigate diseases and other public health outbreaks to keep them from spreading.

It's fun to make fun of logic models. While some criticism is justified, much is directed at a caricature of logic models that no model fan would recognize. In this webinar we'll review why a program description is essential, how drawing a picture is the best way to describe your program, and how a simple, practical logic model is the most effective picture. We'll dissect terms like output and moderator and discuss when to include them and their value they may add to your program description.
