About Us
The Division of Adult and Community Health (DACH) is charged with
providing crosscutting
chronic disease and health promotion expertise and support to CDC’s National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), within
CDC’s
Coordinating Center for Health Promotion, as well as to states, communities,
and other
partners. DACH also manages several important chronic disease prevention and
control
programs for specific chronic diseases, assesses new and emerging chronic
disease
issues, and launches new programs for NCCDPHP.
- Centerwide Services
Several programs within the DACH
serve as bases for delivering health statistics, epidemiologic support,
prevention research, and flexible program funding in states that support
all of NCCDPHP’s programs (i.e., BRFSS,
PRC,
Blockgrant).
- Cross-Cutting Approaches
DACH manages several programs that address an array of issues
related to chronic disease prevention and health promotion for specific
populations. The division also provides expertise and national
leadership in health education and promotion, tools widely used in
chronic disease prevention efforts (i.e., Healthy
Aging, HRQOL,
Reach).
- Launching Programs
DACH launches new and growing programs for NCCDPHP, some of which
have historically become separate divisions as they have matured. Read
more about the major chronic disease programs currently being launched
by DACH (i.e.,Arthritis,
Epilepsy).
- Emerging Issues
DACH is charged with undertaking innovative scientific research on
emerging and crosscutting chronic disease and health promotion issues
for CDC. These research initiatives define the extent and public health
impact of emerging issues and develop the scientific basis for public
health solutions. Read more about the areas currently being addressed by DACH (i.e., Adverse Childhood Experiences,
Alcohol and Binge Drinking,
Alzheimer's Disease and Kidney Disease,
Mental Health and Chronic
Disease,
Mapping, Social Determinants of
Health, Syndemics).
