State Programs in Action
Exemplary Work to Prevent Chronic Disease and Promote Health, 2004

Abstract: CDC promotes state-based programs that encourage healthy behaviors and reduce chronic disease risk factors. These programs should be directed to populations at greatest need and build on a foundation of scientific evidence. Through its state and local health partners, CDC helps achieve healthier communities through effective policies and programs such as those highlighted in State Programs in Action.
