The CDC has investigated psychological illnesses (such as depression, addiction) for decades. Depression can lead to addiction which can directly impact communicable diseases (a subset of disease in general), or hereditary disease onset (another subset of diseases in general). Edit to add the CDC mission statement: CDC works 24/7 to protect America from health, safety and security threats, both foreign and in the U.S. Whether diseases start at home or abroad, are chronic or acute, curable or preventable, human error or deliberate attack, CDC fights disease and supports communities and citizens to do the same. CDC increases the health security of our nation. As the nation’s health protection agency, CDC saves lives and protects people from health threats. To accomplish our mission, CDC conducts critical science and provides health information that protects our nation against expensive and dangerous health threats, and responds when these arise. Edit again to add: I think 10,600 employees can keep a few balls in the air. You don't need many to undertake one survey. https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2020/02/29/10600-cdc-employees-earn-11-billion-annually/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2020/02/29/106...
