Abstract

Abstract Established in 1970 as a part of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) has grown into the world’s largest funder of alcohol research. An independent institute of the National Institutes of Health, the NIAAA’s website, https://www.niaaa.nih.gov provides a wealth of resources for researchers, health professionals, and the public, including where to find help. The NIAAA’s ongoing efforts reflect their role as the United States’ primary source of evidence-based information on alcohol and health, in addition to conducting and supporting research and influencing legislation.

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."
