The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the one of the most respected public health agencies in the world. I remember being so impressed when I realized that my prospective graduate school (Emory, which I attended) was right next door to the CDC. They do some amazing work. While much of it is highly specialized epidemiology and biostatistics, some of their work is very easily accessible. Their new health e-cards are a perfect example. This is a great example of social marketing.
There are about one hundred cards available now when new ones being added regularly. You can find them on a number of topics:
* Injuries
* Parenting
* STDs and HIV
* Travel
* Climate
* and more.
Cards are available in Spanish and English. Here's to good health!
"It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do a little." -Sydney Smith, writer and clergyman (1771-1845)
