New Pew Report: Health Information Searching Online
"Online Health Search 2006: Most internet users start at a search engine when looking for health information online. Very few check the source and date of the information they find."
"Fully three-quarters of health seekers say they check the source and date only sometimes, hardly ever, or never, which translates to about 85 million Americans gathering health advice online without consistently examining the quality indicators of the information they find."

Bisphosphonates and Osteonecrosis of the Jaw
In support of yesterday's excellent and well attended presentation by Dr. Joseph Helman, we would like to offer the following selected resources on bisphosphonates and osteonecrosis of the jaw. Sections below include information for patients, for practitioners, and articles from the professional literature.
Please note that while links to articles and abstracts are provided as possible, to get access to the full article you may need to navigate to the article from a UM Library service. One way to do this would be to enter PubMed from a UM web page, log in if off campus, and then enter the PMID number. Go to the bottom of the resulting page, and click on the block-M.
For those who would like more information, custom searches in PubMed are provided.

US Water Fluoridation Maps Available
New from the CDC, an interactive map of the United States that allows you to check local water fluoridation levels.
"My Water’s Fluoride allows consumers in currently participating states to learn the fluoridation status of their water system."
To use this map, click first on the state, then on the county, and lastly on the city. Many city entries will also include the option to view the operational reports for that jurisdiction.
