CDC Vital Signs

To make the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) health information more accessible to the public, more interesting to the media, and more relevant to policymakers, CDC has created Vital Signs—a monthly publication that uses concise and compelling data to communicate vital health information on select topics. The Vital Signs program has several parts, including a Vital Signs MMWR, a fact sheet and a Web site that mirrors the fact sheet, a media release, and announcements via social media tools. The CDC Vital Signs topic for September (2010) is tobacco use, with a focus on adult smoking rates and exposure to secondhand smoke in the United States.
