- This is the health section of the web site of the National Institute of Health, a division of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services.
- http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus
- This is the MedlinePlus web site. This is a great starting point for researching articles, research studies, medications, and medical terms.
- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed
- This is PubMed, the National Library of Medicine's online database of published journal articles. This is a wonderful resource for those looking for clinical research on PCOS.
- http://clinicaltrials.gov
- This is the NIH's database of current clinical trials. While not an exhaustive listing, it's a good place to look. Many of the trials listed are related to an NIH program, so this may be the only place they are listed.
Via the sites listed above, you can reach all sorts of information about health issues, which used to be available only in some libraries, and at the NIH itself!
