Health Literacy Search Added to Special Queries

Health Literacy Search Added to Special Queries. NLM Tech Bull. 2006 Nov-Dec;(353):b1.

December 19, 2006 [posted]

A subject page for health literacy is now available from NLM's® Special Queries resource page (link from PubMed's® blue sidebar). This page provides a PubMed search strategy and selected links to other sources of health literacy information.

The MEDLINE/PubMed health literacy search retrieves citations to English language journal literature. Users are encouraged to use features of PubMed to focus the search or expand it. For example, to focus the search, consider using the PubMed Limits tab. To expand the search, use the Related Articles feature.

For more information on the Special Queries Resource in PubMed see New Special Queries Resource in PubMed®. NLM TechBull. 2005 Mar-Apr; (343):e1.
