Read source ↗ All evidence

Summary

This CDC publication provides an introductory overview of the One Health framework, which posits that the health of humans, animals, and the environment are inextricably linked. As a government agency resource rather than a peer-reviewed study, it is likely intended to orient practitioners and policymakers to the One Health approach and its application in areas such as zoonotic disease prevention, antimicrobial resistance, and food safety. The document probably draws on existing CDC programmes and international collaborations to illustrate cross-sectoral health interdependencies.

UK applicability

The One Health framework is actively adopted in UK policy through agencies such as UKHSA, Defra, and the APHA, making the CDC's framing broadly applicable as a complementary international reference. UK practitioners may find it useful for comparative purposes, though specific programmatic details will reflect the US institutional context.

Key measures

Conceptual frameworks for health interconnectedness; examples of zoonotic disease linkages; policy and surveillance principles

Outcomes reported

The resource outlines the One Health concept, explaining how human, animal, plant, and environmental health are interconnected and interdependent. It likely describes the CDC's institutional approach to One Health and its implications for disease surveillance, zoonotic risk, and cross-sector health governance.
