Action Briefs from the Osteoarthritis Action Alliance and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  To help leaders in key sectors promote early detection and management of osteoarthritis, the Osteoarthritis Action Alliance (OAAA), partnering with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Arthritis Foundation, issued a 2020 update of 2010’s A National Public Health Agenda for Osteoarthritis.   The Agenda was developed by leading experts and features 9 strategies to improve health and quality of life among millions of Americans with osteoarthritis. To facilitate uptake and implementation of these strategies, OAAA and CDC have developed a companion series of practical and easily implemented “action briefs” for 7 sectors critical for affecting change, including health professionals, employers, community-based organizations, and insurers.
