Evidence shows that there are marked health disparities between those living in rural areas versus their urban counterparts. This presentation addresses health information resources and data, increasing health information access and use and the NNLM initiative of Bridging the Digital Divide by demonstrating how to find information on health conditions, demographic groups and social issues in MedlinePlus.gov, Rural Health Information Hub, and USDA Economic Research Service.

PubMed maps your search terms to Medical Subject Headings (MeSH®) to augment your search with additional terms from the vocabulary that NLM uses to describe articles in MEDLINE®/PubMed. Take this course to better understand how PubMed uses MeSH and how you can take control of your PubMed topic searches for better precision or recall.
