Study: Local health departments inconsistent on H1N1 reporting

摘要

Santa Monica, CA - Many local health departments were inconsistent when conveying information to the public about the H1N1 flu virus via their Websites in the aftermath of April's public health emergency, according to a study by Rand Corp. The study states that 46 out of 50 state health departments posted some information about the outbreak within 24 hours of federal officials announcing the emergency. However, only one-third of the 153 local health departments studied did the same.
