Sleep hygiene is a timely and widely relevant health topic, particularly in the weeks following Daylight Saving Time. Sleep affects mental health, chronic disease management, learning, workplace safety, and overall well-being across the lifespan.
Using sleep hygiene as a case study, this webinar will demonstrate how to locate health information across three freely available National Library of Medicine (NLM) resources: MedlinePlus.gov, PubMed.gov, and ClinicalTrials.gov. Participants will explore strategies for moving from consumer-level health information to biomedical research literature and clinical research studies.
