Progress in Chronic Disease Prevention Introduction
This issue of the MMWR introduces a new series of topics,
"Progress in Chronic Disease Prevention". This series was prompted
by
the increasing involvement of public health agencies in chronic
disease prevention and control and, specifically, by
recommendations
from the First National Conference on Chronic Disease Prevention
and
Control held in Atlanta, Georgia, in September 1986. Articles will
appear regularly in the MMWR highlighting progress and advances
made
in the prevention and control of certain chronic diseases.
