Translator needed for Preventing Chronic Disease

This journal, Preventing Chronic Disease, is online only, by the CDC. It would be really nice if there was a way to capture citation without having to go to PDF and then get meta data. Incidentally, is it your bad or theirs, that the metadata for this article is for a different paper entirely?

    Retrieve metadata uses search strings derived from the document to get the metadata from the internet, usually via google scholar - that mostly, but not always, works and it's not really anyone's fault when it doesn't.

    The CDC site isn't terribly friendly for Zotero integration and someone would have to go and write a translator - at this point almost all translators are contributed either by interested users or by the site providers. It won't hurt to contact CDC and request Zotero integration - all they would have to do is to provide metadata they already have in the code of the webpage:
