Public Involvement and Scientific Review

CDC formed a committee of scientists and members of the public to advise CDC on the design and implementation of the study. Members of the public and public interest groups provided input in public meetings and written comments to CDC throughout the study.

At the request of CDC, the National Academy of Sciences peer reviewed the HTDS at key points in the study. Peer review is an independent analysis of a study that provides confidence that the correct methods are being used.
