"For many health science librarians the characteristic red and white cover says it all. The Omnigraphics Health Reference Series has become a hallmark of reliable, timely consumer-oriented health information." -E-Streams
"A solid resource for all reference collections." American Reference Books Annual, 2006
Praised as a reader-friendly consumer health collection, the Health Reference Series gives general readers accessible, up-to-date, and comprehensive medical information to fight diseases and disorders of all kinds. This Series is a must for academic and public libraries, medical facilities, doctors' offices, and other health information centers serving the general public.
Written for the Layperson
Each volume in the Health Reference Series is written in concise, straightforward, non-technical language and provides answers to complex medical issues. The Series helps provide the layperson with guidance on how to avoid serious illness by following preventive lifestyles and recognizing early warning signs. It supports the patient who has received a diagnosis of a serious disease or disorder, as well as the family member or nonprofessional caregiver who must learn to cope with illness. The easy-to-understand format and accessible style of writing makes the Health Reference Series an invaluable, first-step medical resource.
Comprehensive and Current
Individual volumes in the Health Reference Series contain material found in publications issued by the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, other government agencies, professional associations, research centers, and similar organizations, as well as from journals and periodicals. Omnigraphics editors analyze the information produced by these government and medical writers and researchers and select documents for inclusion. The result: single, current, topical, and comprehensive volumes for the nonprofessional user.
Easy to Use
For easy access to information, each book is fully indexed. Some also include charts, tables, illustrations, and glossaries of terms. Although some of the documents in the individual volumes are available from their producers, nowhere else can general readers find them conveniently collected, organized, and indexed in book form.
Teen Health Series
The Teen Health Series is a specially focused set of volumes that address teen health concerns. Each volume deals comprehensively with a topic selected according to the needs and interests of people in middle school and high school. The book length, page layout, type size, and writing style of the documents and articles included have all been chosen to appeal specifically to teens. Individual titles are listed in the Teen Health Series section.
