Multiple Choice

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the primary federal agency that conducts and supports public health activities in the United States and is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The idea being tested is which federal department oversees the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC is positioned within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, reflecting its focus on health, disease prevention, and public health in the United States. This department is dedicated to health and welfare and includes other health-related agencies as part of its mission. The other departments—Education, Defense, and Transportation—handle different areas of policy and operations, so they are not the home of the CDC.
