Consumer Health:
Eighth Edition References
The eight edition of Consumer Health: A Guide to Intelligent Decisions is cheduled for publication in 2006. Meanwhile, as its chapter reference lists are developed, we will post them to help current users of the book locate supplementary information. These lists contain links to full-text versions or abstracts of many of the cited references. The abstracts are located on the National Library of Medicine's PubMed site, which provides another way to locate additional information by clicking on the "Related Articles" link to the right of the citation. Note that the Arthritis chapter in the seventh edition has been eliminated so that the chapter numbers from 17 to 25 do not correspond with those of the seventh edition.
