National Library of Medicine Resources to Address Health Equity

Speakers: Nora Barnett, MS

Healthcare and public health workers face challenges when addressing health disparities. The National Library of Medicine offers databases that can help address these challenges. The PubMed Clinical Queries tool assists researchers in finding published research on topics related to health disparities. Medline Plus contains reliable patient education materials in multiple languages. Both of these resources are free to use. This webinar showcases these resources and provides instruction on using them to support health equity work.

At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Construct at least two literature searches on health disparities and health equity promotion using PubMed’s Special Queries tool.
2. Identify three resources of research on health disparities.
3. Utilize Medline Plus to find at least two multilingual patient education materials.
