Abstract

Does the government provide accurate, intergraded pregnancy health information to its citizens? My research showed that the federal government does provide accurate public health information on different HHS agencies (NIH, CDC, FDA) over time. Historical data shows that the agencies could improve their communication strategy and make it easier for the consumer to access their information. The biggest challenge is the findability of that information. Agencies should work to incorporate their communication strategy to the public and make the information available, easily accessible to the consumer.
