Evaluating Sources 7b:
Website – Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. http://www.cdc.gov/NCCDPHP/DNPA/obesity/childhood/index.htm
I found that this website is a reliable source of information for health trends in our country.
The article that I found sited health statistics taken from the NHANES survey which is conducted by the government and is a very reliable source. The evidence is appropriate for the points being made.
Included on the page is the last day reviewed, updated Feb. 2009, a disclaimer of non-endorsement from any links on their website, the CDC mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address. The content source is the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity and National Center for Disease Prevention and Promotion.
