Part 2 Objective: (English)
Students will learn how to make sense of the page in front of them.

Topics covered: How information is organized: alphabetic, subject, keyword. Use of synonyms. How to scan a page for the information you need.

Many Web sites have an A-Z list of subjects, like Medlineplus (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/all_healthtopics.html). We call this an alphabetic list. "Alcoholism" and "allergies" are next to each other, but they aren't related subject-wise. They just both start with "a." This is a lot like the index in the back of a book. Find the subject DIABETES in the Medlineplus A-Z list.

Many Web sites have subjects grouped so that one subject is next to other similar subjects. Medlineplus has another Web page that shows this kind of arrangement. "Kidneys" and "lungs" are next to each other because they are both parts of the body. This is like the table of contents in the front of a book or rmagazine. Once you find the general subject, you canoften click on that word to get to a more specific topic. On the Medlineplus general subject page, click on ENDOCRINE SYSTEM and then find the more specific subject, DIABETES.

Lots of people like Web sites that let you use "keywords." This means that you can type in any subject word you can think of and often find Web pages that mention that subject. Alltheweb (http://www.alltheweb.com/) is an example. You can run into problems with this kind of Web site if there are two words that mean sort of the same thing. If I put in the word "AIDS," the system might not be smart enough to know that I wanted information on "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome" rather than "Hearing Aids." Another danger of keywords is that you might find lots of Web pages that have a very small mention of the word you want, but are really mainly about something else. Try typing the word INSULIN into Alltheweb see what you get. Some Web sites have really good keyword search boxes that can guess what you really want. Try typing the same subject INSULIN into the Search box at the top of the Medlineplus (http://www.medlineplus.gov/) page and then click "GO."

What if you are looking at a page and don't see the word you want? If it's a web page, use "find" on this page" or "find in page" in the Edit pull down menu if it's a printed page or a PDF page, think of the word or word you want to find and imagine what the word looks like. Then, instead of reading the whole page, just run your eyes quickly down the page looking for just those one or two words.

Part 3 Objectives: (English)
Students will understand when the information type has met the need - when what they have found answers the question they have.

Research articles have information written by doctors and nurses for doctors and nurses to read. They are often hard to understand if you haven't learned the special words in nursing school or medical school. An example is: Should elderly patients be told they have cancer? Questionnaire survey of older people (http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/
articlerender.fcgi?tool=pubmed&pubmedid=11711408), by
A Ajaj, specialist registrar, M P Singh, senior house officer, and A J J Abdullah, consultant physician.

The information from research articles is often used by health educators to write articles specifically for the rest of us to read. An example is: Finding a Balance (http://www.mayoclinic.com/invoke.cfm?id=MC00014), by Mayo Clinic health educators. Most of the information you will find in Medlineplus (http://www.medlineplus.gov/) or Healthfinder (http://www.healthfinder.gov/) is this kind of information.

Many researchers and government agencies collect statistics and make up charts. Charts often give information about hundreds or thousands of people, but don't usually have very specific information about
your health. See an example at: A Profile of Older Americans (http://www.aoa.dhhs.gov/aoa/stats/profile/2001/12.html)

Sometimes experts get together and come to an agreement on what their research really means to most people. An example is Anthrax as a Biological Weapon (http://jama.ama assn.org/issues/v281n18/ffull/jst80027.html). Often health educators take those agreements and write up information that is easier to read for the rest of us. See an example at: Frequently Asked Questions About
Anthrax (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/anthrax_g.htm)
The information written by the health educators is often the very best for us consumers.

Newspapers, TV stations, and radio stations often tell us just a little bit about the topic. When you see something on TV you are usually just seeing one little piece of the whole picture. See an example at: CDC
Deploys Teams to Give Anthrax Vaccine
(http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_5354.html)

Part 4 Objectives: (English)
Students will be able to make an educated guess about who might collect and/or publish the health information they need.

Topics covered: who publishes medical information:
universities, governments, non-profit organizations,
for-profit organizations, individuals. Where will the
information be published? Think about who wants you to
have information for free. If someone wants you to
have information for free, you'll probably find it on
the Web. For example, if CocaCola wants you to know
that Coke tastes good, you don't have to pay to hear
it! To find out if a group, organization, or company
has a web site, put the name of the group or company
into the search box of Alltheweb
http://www.alltheweb.com/ and see if you find a web

Topics covered: Practice in going through the whole process from beginning to end.
1) Think about a health concern of your own.

2) Think about all the ways to describe yourself.
3) Think of all the different words that describe your concern.
4) Who might want to help you with your concern? See if that group or company has a web site and check their web site for any information that might help. If you find something good, make it a favorite.
5) See if you can find information on your health concern in Medlineplus, Healthfinder, and all the other sites listed in Part 7. If you find something
good, make it a favorite.
6) Look at everything you have found, by going back to your favorites. Do the sites agree or disagree? If they disagree, decide which you will believe.
7) What decision can you make about your health concern? (The decision might just be: "I'm probably just fine, but I'll keep an eye on it." OR, the
decision might be: "Maybe I should go to a clinic." If you can't yet make a decision, would another piece of information help? If you think you need another piece of information, see if you can find it!
8) If you can't find the information you need, it's time to ask your doctor or nurse or call your clinic.
