What does the acronym CDC stand for?

Centers for Disease Control
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Center for Disease Control and Analysis
Central Disease Control Agency

The correct answer is: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

The acronym CDC stands for "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention." This is the correct answer because the CDC is a national public health agency in the United States that operates under the Department of Health and Human Services. Its primary focus is on preventing and controlling diseases, conducting health research, and promoting public health initiatives. The term "and Prevention" highlights a significant aspect of the agency's mission, which goes beyond merely controlling diseases to actively working on preventive measures, education, and public health strategies. This comprehensive approach is essential in managing health threats and improving community health outcomes. The other options do not accurately represent the official name and scope of the agency's work.
