The Health Communication Focus Area for Healthy People 2010, the Prevention Communication Research Database, Health Literacy Improvement and Consumer and Patient e-Health efforts have been brought together in one website at www.health.gov/communication. The site includes links to Healthy People 2010 data, consumer research studies, reports and resources and is a service of the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, US Department of Health and Human Services.
Among the reports accessible on the site are:
- Youth Media Campaign: Summary of Interviews Regarding Kids with Disabilities (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) [link]
- Report of Focus Groups: Parenting Skills and Childhood Obesity [link] (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
- Literacy and Health Outcomes [link]

A general resource section includes links to the infamous 'Pink Book' (Making Health Communications Work), other HHS communication offices and health communication professional associations.
A great resource for researchers and practitioners involved in health communication and health education programs.
