ABOUT THE COVER
The Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides voluntary guidelines that reduce the risk of disease, injury, and
drowning at aquatic facilities. In this month’s cover article, “Applying the Model Aquatic Health Code to Grade Swimming Pool Safety in a Large Metropolitan Area,” the authors sought to develop a swimming pool safety grading system in a metropolitan area by applying the MAHC to city swimming pool inspection data. Overall, the MAHC can be applied to grade swimming pool safety in jurisdictions where it has not been adopted. Furthermore, the degree of safety violations can be spatially demonstrat- ed to inform injury prevention measures. See page 8. Cover image © iStockphoto: peedees
