MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 1992 Nov 6;41(44):833.
On October 27, 1992, CDC's name was changed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (with "CDC" still to be used as the acronym). This change was enacted by Congress, as part of the Preventive Health Amendments of 1992, to recognize CDC's leadership role in the prevention of disease, injury, and disability. In enacting this change, Congress also specified that the agency continue to use the acronym "CDC" because of its recognition within the public health community and among the public.
1992年10月27日，疾病控制中心（CDC）更名为疾病控制与预防中心（仍使用“CDC”作为首字母缩写词）。这一变更由国会颁布，作为1992年《预防性健康修正案》的一部分，以认可疾病控制与预防中心在预防疾病、伤害和残疾方面的领导作用。在颁布这一变更时，国会还规定该机构继续使用首字母缩写词“CDC”，因为它在公共卫生界和公众中已得到认可。
