Section 508 Accessibility

We are committed to ensuring no one is excluded from accessing our content due to a disability, in conformance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794d), as amended in 1998.

About Section 508
Section 508 requires that all electronic and information technology used by the U.S. Federal Government be made equally accessible to people both with and without disabilities. Readers can find more information about Section 508 and the associated technical standards on the Section 508.gov website.

Some types of figures used in scientific publications are inherently incompatible with these standards. The Digital Communications Division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers information on ways to make such material accessible. 

Need Assistance?
Although we strive to make all EHP content accessible to all readers, we do occasionally publish material that cannot be made 508-conformant. In such cases, contact us if you require assistance. Our staff will work with you to assess and meet your accessibility needs within three business days.
