If I want to be up-to-date with the most recent public health info.like major outbreak, new intervention techniques, warnings, etc..which resources/websites do you recommend and I should check daily?
It would be broadly based on your interest area in epidemiology. Although, there could be some generic sources of information in you may be interested such as (this is just a glance):
CDC website, WHO website, ScienceDaily (https://www.sciencedaily.com),
Updates from Universities (twitter handle may be most useful) - JHSPH, Harvard TH Chan SPH, IHME (UW), etc.
Monash University and JHU JHU Injury Center for those interested in injuries and disability
Center for Vaccine Ethics and Policy (weekly updates for those interested in vaccines)
IHME website (HealthData.org) - for those interested in disease burden,
PROMED for those interested in outbreak epidemiology,
Key journals from your country and others including Lancet, BMJ, NEJM, IJE, AJPH, AJE, JAMA, etc. WHO Bulletin for those interested in health systems, Updates from Springer and Elsevier Journals.
Journal Retraction Watch, and PubPeer for those interested in status in plagiarism ........
Hello doctor ,,,
I recommend 2 international sites : WHO & CDC
1- WHO
specially fact sheets for all epidemiological diseases and may also health events
https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets
2- CDC
https://www.cdc.gov/
You can register at ProMED Mail;
information on all outbreaks available
https://www.google.de/search?source=hp&ei=aN_JXOjPGYzKwQLDo7DICw&q=promed+mail&btnK=Google-Suche&oq=promed+mail&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0j0i22i30l9.1249.3417..4239...0.0..0.132.1297.0j11......0....1..gws-wiz.....0..0i131.WU4K6hAhg-Q
Sorry for the long URL!
Just google ProMED Mail, you will find it easily
Mundial:
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/index.html
Colombia
https://www.asivamosensalud.org/
While the CDC and WHO sites and emails have a lot of great information, I do agree the ProMED mail is unique and quite valuable. So I do encourage all epidemiologists to sign up.
I would also recommend the University of Washington's new Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (www.healthdata.org) dealing with global health and the financial aspects national burdens of disease on public health programs
You can following Twitter such as @ProMED_MBDS (they alert outbreak news all of Southeast Asia), @CDCgov , @WHO .
https:/www.cdc.gov/mmwr/index.html will be of good help but remember that WHO remains the standard in all health matters
If you are looking for global epidemiological/public health info, WHO and CDC are thorough and places to go. But you might want to check with specific countries' resources. In the UK for instance, Public Health England (PHE) is responsible for PH and most health communication to the public and professionals.
Isso depende muito de quais informações você necessita para seu estudo!!
Ask yourself why do you need those information. You should be concentrated on purpose, not on reading blogs nor news, even though they are connecting to health. If I were you I would follow CDC only for information related to own country or place where I would go in near future. ECDC or WHO are not national organisation, and in for my experience they don't have responsibility such as CDC as national agency.
