Improving
the Health and Quality of Life of All People — Brochure
CDC’s chronic disease programs are critically important for improving the
health of our nation since many chronic diseases can be prevented, some can
be detected early and successfully treated, and the effects of “incurable”
chronic diseases can be dramatically reduced.
PATCH
The Planned Approach to Community Health (PATCH), developed by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and its partners, is widely
recognized as an effective model for planning, conducting, and evaluating
community health promotion and disease prevention programs. It is used by
diverse communities in the United States and several nations to address a
variety of health concerns such as cardiovascular disease, HIV, injuries,
teenage pregnancy, and access to health care. The PATCH Guide is designed to
be used by the local coordinator and contains "how to" information on the
process, things to consider when adapting the process to your community, and
sample overheads and handout materials.
The Power of Prevention
Outlines the public health perspective on and approach to reducing the
health and economic burden of chronic disease by focusing on prevention.
This document also provides a national chronic disease prevention agenda and
outlines specific steps that can be taken to prevent chronic disease and
improve people's health.
Preventing
Chronic Disease (PCD) — E-Journal Web Site
