Center for Disease Control Website

Hello everyone!  We spoke in class about appropriate sources of information.  We discussed the reason behind not using Wikipedia as a source; the information contained on the site is not peer reviewed.  The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), however, is an excellent source of information.  We are almost on the last day of May and since the CDC has declared May as High Blood Pressure Education Month (2011), I would like you to visit the site to become familiar with it. 

You can visit the main page of the CDC website by clicking here:  CDC

You can also go directly to the High Blood Pressure page by clicking here: High blood Pressure

We will be discussing what you learned from your CDC excursion on Tuesday.  Please come ready to share one fact about any disease that sparke d your interest!

See you on Tuesday!
