In this age of diminished public health reporting - particularly by many government agencies - I'm happy to report that CIDRAP (Center for Infectious Disease Reporting & Policy) at the the University of Minnesota has unveiled a new feature; Public Health Alerts.
The first two reports went live yesterday. Follow the links to read them in their entirety.
Published by NEJM Evidence in collaboration with CIDRAP, Public Health Alerts are brief reports that inform public health officials, clinicians, policymakers, and the public of important and emerging health issues. Freely available on both the NEJM Evidence site and here, these reports are published on a rapid review track in support of efforts to make timely decisions for the medical community and public health.
For more information, read the news release and NEJM Evidence editorial on the launch.
