Factline: Tracking Health in Underserved Communities

Factline, a project of the Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, sponsored by the National Library of Medicine and Meharry Medical College, takes its structure from the federal government's Healthy People 2010. Factline is designed for journalists, students, community workers, and policy makers to present solid facts from scholarly research on health disparities in a brief and understandable format. Each fact presented comes supplied with the reference from the literature where it is established; each page on the site is enhanced with Google and PubMed search mechanisms to allow the interested reader to go further on the subject in either the popular or the scholarly literature. http://www.factline.org/
