Surely you\u2019ve been faced with a women\u2019s health question that needs answering\u2014either in your own life or for a project. Of course, you should ask your doctor if you have a particular ailment that needs attention, but sometimes you want to get some preliminary information online that is free of ads and written by trustworthy health care experts. Or maybe you want to write your final paper on the emotional impact of high school bullying on lesbians, but you know Googling \u201clesbian teenagers\u201d is probably not going to get you the results you need for a school paper.<\/p>\n

So where to start? Take a look at Women\u2019s Health Resources\u2014an online portal to women\u2019s health and wellness information and research funded by the National Institutes of Health<\/a>. This video will give you a tour:<\/p>\n

\"Research<\/a><\/p>\n

The information and research found on Women\u2019s Health Resources comes from a number of valuable NIH and NLM collections. Learn more below about three in particular: ClinicalTrials.gov<\/a>, MedlinePlus<\/a>, and PubMed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At ClinicalTrials.gov<\/a>, you can see the status of clinical trials as well as data from finished studies.<\/p>\n

What is a clinical study? \u00a0A clinical study involves research using human volunteers (also called participants) that is intended to add to medical knowledge. \u00a0There are two main types of clinical studies: clinical trials and observational studies. \u00a0ClinicalTrials.gov includes both interventional and observational studies

The Oviatt Library also has plenty of women\u2019s health material for your research needs. We offer subject databases and resource guides in <\/span>Health Sciences<\/a>, Nursing <\/a>and\u00a0Gender and Women\u2019s Studies<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are using Google or another search engine to find online resources on women\u2019s health, make sure you check out our session of Research Therapy <\/a>all about website evaluation. You wouldn\u2019t ask just anyone on the street for health information, so don\u2019t accept it from just anywhere on the internet!<\/p>\n
