CDC's Contributions to Women's Health and Safety
CDC’s contributions to women’s health focused on better understanding, improving, and promoting the health, safety, and quality of life of women of all ages. CDC published research, conducted disease surveillance, released recommendations and guidelines, launched several campaigns, developed tools and resources, worked with partners, and continued programs across the country. Here are a few of the contributions CDC made to women's health in 2014:
