Complements classroom instruction

The Student Resource Center-Health Module complements classroom instruction and library research while enabling students to learn about disorders and health issues affecting themselves and people they know. Combining a database of periodicals updated daily with richly illustrated topical essays, biographies, events, definitions, pamphlets and links to reviewed Web sites, the Health Module is a primary health resource that students will turn to again and again. It includes brand-new material, as well as content from the valued Gale's print title, World of Health.

Meeting the information needs of students and other researchers

Designed to meet the need for a health and medical information resource for students, the Health Module offers content that is structured, authoritative, comprehensive, easily located and easy to understand. It puts curriculum related information within reach for high school students in a variety of classes including biology, psychology, health and nutrition, English, social studies and many others.

From issues and controversies in the health and medical fields to diseases, wellness and healthy living, the Health Module also meets the needs of other researchers.
