CDC's Winnable Battles Resources for Public Health Professionals

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Winnable Battles are public health priorities with large-scale impact on health and with known, effective strategies to address them. Each area is a leading cause of illness, injury, disability, or death, and/or represents enormous societal costs.

Evidence-based, scalable interventions such as those recommended in The Guide to Community Preventive Services (The Community Guide) already exist and can be broadly implemented to fight many of these priority areas. The Community Guide is a free resource and is the best place to find evidence-based recommendations and findings from The Community Preventive Services Task Force.

The Public Health Foundation (PHF) has partnered with CDC to build awareness and knowledge of CDC’s Winnable Battles. Resources from PHF's Online Store , courses from TRAIN , and other tools offered through PHF can be used by public health and other professionals to build the capacity to be successful.
