CDC.gov Launches Redesigned Spanish Web Site “CDC en Español”

CDC en Español www.cdc.gov/spanish

On October 11, 2007, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Spanish-language Web site, CDC en Español, was re-launched with a new look

and new features that will make it more usable and functional. The updated Web

site is another important step in CDC’s longstanding efforts to provide accurate,

up-to-date information in Spanish on health issues of special interest to Hispanic

communities, including information on a wide range of health promotion

and disease prevention topics like asthma, cancer, HIV/AIDS, immunizations,

children’s health, diabetes and occupational hazards.

The CDC en Español Web site address is www.cdc.gov/spanish.

Among the new features on CDC en Español:

Health and safety information is now grouped in broad, easy-to-browse topic areas.

Additional new features provide better access to data and statistics,

recent news, tools and resources, and new publications.

A new Google-based search engine provides more relevant search results.

An interactive features area at the top of the home page highlights a number

of current issues, events and health topics of particular interest to Hispanic audiences

with relevant photographs or videos. This feature enables CDC en Español to better

display health recommendations, guidelines and upcoming events.

A " Top 20 " section allows visitors to quickly view a list of the most popular health topics

and access each directly from the home page.
