Each report takes a complex data subject and summarizes it into text and graphics that provide readers with easily comprehensible information in a compact publication. So far, four have been published:


No. 1. Obesity Among Adults in the United States—No Statistically Significant Change Since 2003–2004. 8 pp. November 2007.
