NIH Expands Web Information

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has implemented a substantial expansion of its health information Web site at<http://health.nih.gov>.
The new features provide visitors with an opportunity to test their knowledge of health-related topics and expand the links to other information on Web sites of NIH's 27 institutes and centers. The added features target topics to a variety of age groups including children, teenagers, adults, and seniors and will supplement information already on the site that is geared to researchers, clinicians, and educators.
The highlights of the expanded Web site, according to NIH, are three new sections—Healthy Lifestyles, Research in Action, and Now Online.
Healthy Lifestyles will link visitors to timely topics such a seasonal health concerns and weight-loss and nutrition information.
The Research in Action section links to “cutting-edge scientific information” on topics in the news such as stem-cell research and introduces readers to scientists who may be teenagers or leading lights in their field.
Now Online contains interactive features and special Web exhibits, such as a recent program on the Milk Matters campaign, which hopes to boost calcium consumption among children and adolescents. ▪
