  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:38, 18 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Re CDC/Frieden articles

edit

I am always willing to tweak my edits but let's remember that any section titled "Controversies" is going to rely on information gathered from varying sources.

As per your request here is the following:

a) Mandatory motorcycle-helmet laws
See: http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/pdf/mc2012/motorcyclesafetybook.pdf

b) CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden appoints a 15-member Community Preventive Services Task Force, authorized under Section 4003(b) of the AACAPA
Duties- The duties of the Task Force shall include

  • (1) the development of additional topic areas for new recommendations and interventions related to those topic areas, including those related to specific populations and age groups, as well as the social, economic and physical environments that can have broad effects on the health and disease of populations and health disparities among sub-populations and age groups;
  • (2) at least once during every 5-year period, review interventions and update recommendations related to existing topic areas, including new or improved techniques to assess the health effects of interventions, including health impact assessment and population health modeling;
  • (3) improved integration with Federal Government health objectives and related target setting for health improvement;
  • (4) the enhanced dissemination of recommendations;
  • (5) the provision of technical assistance to those health care professionals, agencies, and organizations that request help in implementing the Guide recommendations; and
  • (6) providing yearly reports to Congress and related agencies identifying gaps in research and recommending priority areas that deserve further examination, including areas related to populations and age groups not adequately addressed by current recommendations.
