Abstract

Abstract The National Organization for Rare Disorders, or NORD®, is a robust resource suitable for patients, families, clinicians, researchers, and advocates of those living with or impacted by rare diseases. Given that rare diseases affect around 30 million people in the United States, half of which are estimated to be children, it is vital to have access to credible and accessible information. An added bonus of NORD is their staunch advocacy platform, which brings to light other consumer health information which may otherwise be hard to find. This consumer health resource review covers the consumer-focused aspects of NORD.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet is the only professional peer-reviewed journal devoted to locating consumer health information via the Internet. In this journal librarians and health information providers describe programs and services aimed at helping patients and the general public find the health information they need. From the Editor: "Studies have shown that health information is one of the major reasons that people worldwide access the Internet. As the amount of health information on the Web increases exponentially, it becomes critical that librarians-including public and medical librarians-be knowledgeable about what is available online and be able to direct users to reliable, accurate, quality information."
