Marti Kleinman’s Health class: Researching drug terms, general effects, etc.
http://Medlineplus.gov Best for this project. It has definitions, conditions, clear explanations, etc.
www.webmd.com very good commercial site.
http://cliconhealth.org/ very good local site managed by our
An easy way to find definitions online is to go to www.google.com and type in Define colon word, e.g., :
Define: steroids
A list of web definitions will come up; choose carefully. Wiki articles might come up first. For basic definitions, wiki’s okay. But when you start getting into effects and factors, though, do not use wikis. Think about it: many, many people have opinions about drugs, but not all of those opinions are medically sound. And since any one of those opinionated people can alter wiki, it is not a resource for in-depth information.
