MedlinePlus is a really good resource for quality consumer health information. It just recently added consumer health information in several languages.

The URL for consumer health in foreign language is:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/languages/languages.html

The URL for consumer health in foreign languages by topic is:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/languages/all_healthtopics.html

and the URL to retrieve primarily quality information in English is: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/

You can also, as a CSUN faculty, staff or student, reach MedlinePlus when using PubMed at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?otool=cacsunlib

Look for the link to Consumer Health on the left column. In addition, depending upon the topic, you may also find links by viewing the full record and choose Links to Link Out to Medical as in the following example:

Medline is a database that indexes the medical literature. I encourage accessing Medline on NCBI’s PubMed. CSUN offers a URL to link records with our Find Text
