Web Research-LINKS (Global Health )

Web Research-LINKS

Here are the links that I have found to be useful in my learning about the vast array of areas that impact our health and the health of people and living communities throughout our world. I have broken them into categories. The link that is mandatroy for the web research review project is in bold red under general info. section and it's called Global Issues that Affect Everyone. All of the links that cover many topical areas within them will fall into the first group called General info group. More specific sites fall into the category more specific to the content, even though almost all of the sites overlap to a degree because ALL THINGS ARE CONNECTED...
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY OF THESE LINKS DO NOT WORK SO THAT I CAN FIX THEM ASAP. CONTACT: cousars@lanecc.edu

The Global Health categories to choose from include General, Social, Ecological, Hunger/Nutrition, Disease, Maternal and Child and they will have a solid black heading as seen below for the general area, please look through all of them before choosing the two other (non-mandatory, your choice) sites you will choose to review.
