Summary Health Statistics for the U.S. Population: National Health Interview Survey, 2012
Two of the findings from this report: the rate of medically consulted injury and poisoning episodes occurring inside the home was higher for females than for males. Uninsured females were more than twice as likely as uninsured males to not have coverage due to a change in marital status or the death of a parent.

Key Findings: Prenatal Diagnosis of Congenital Heart Defects
Researchers from CDC and the National Birth Defects Prevention Study (NBDPS) found that 15% of women reported that they first learned about their baby’s congenital heart defect (CHD) during pregnancy (called a prenatal diagnosis). Many times it is critical that a baby receives their CHD diagnosis during the mother’s pregnancy to reduce serious complications after the baby is born.

Your New Year Quit Smoking Plan
Many smokers use the New Year's holiday as motivation to quit. To reach these smokers and to support tobacco control programs, CDC has resources to help make this healthy New Year's resolution a reality.

Voluntary Recall of One Lot of Gardasil HPV Vaccine
On December 16, 2013 CDC was informed by Merck that the company planned to implement a voluntary recall of one lot (lot J007354) of Gardasil® [Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent (types 6, 11, 16, and 18) Vaccine, Recombinant], due to the potential for a small number of vials to contain glass particles as a result of breakage during the manufacturing process.

CDC Grants
Public Health Actions to Prevent and Control Diabetes, Tobacco Use, Heart Disease, and Associated Chronic Disease Risk Factors and improve maternal and child health support reproductive health in the US Affiliated Pacific Islands, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico [CDC-RFA-DP14-1406]
The primary purpose of this funding is to support the implementation of cross-cutting, unified approaches to promote health, prevent and control tobacco use, diabetes, heart disease, promotion of health pregnancy and infancy through primary and secondary prevention of NCDs in the US Affiliated Pacific Islands, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. This FOA attempts to coordinate activities that address common risk factors, as well as cross-cutting epidemiology and surveillance, environmental approaches, health systems changes and clinical-community linkages (e.g. surveillance, screening, evaluation, data systems) and reduces the administrative and reporting requirements. Closing Date: February 10, 2014.

Research Grants for Preventing Violence and Violence Related Injury [RFA-CE-14-006]
The purposes of the CDC extramural violence prevention research program are to: 1. Build the scientific base for the prevention of violence by helping to expand and advance our understanding of the primary prevention of interpersonal violence. 2. Encourage professionals from a wide spectrum of disciplines of epidemiology, behavioral and social sciences, medicine, biostatistics, public health, health economics, law, and criminal justice to perform research in order to prevent violence more effectively. 3. Encourage investigators to propose research that involves the development and testing of primary prevention strategies, programs and policies designed to prevent interpersonal violence and reduce violence-related outcomes as well as dissemination, implementation, and translation research to enhance the adoption and maintenance of effective strategies among individuals, organizations, or communities.
