CDC's Science Clips

Thanks to Will Humble, director of the Arizona Department of Health Services for the following reference. For anyone with more than a passing interest in public health, his blog is worth checking out.

Will’s most recent blog post references the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s publication called Science Clips. This weekly report provides a summary of CDC-authored publications and key scientific articles in featured topic areas (e.g., “communicable diseases” and “maternal and child health”). It’s “one stop shopping” for individuals interested in keeping up-to-date on health research. The links will direct you to the related abstracts as listed in PubMed – a compendium of the peer-reviewed scientific research. Unfortunately, access to the full articles is largely limited to those with electronic subscriptions to the specific journals in question. Still, through access to the abstracts, it’s a simple means to stay current on all things public health.
