ProQuest Launches New Public Health Resource

ProQuest (www.proquest.com) has launched a new resource, ProQuest Public Health, designed to be an ideal starting point for public health information and research. ProQuest Public Health covers a wide range of disciplines, from biological sciences and social sciences to health economics, and brings together disparate resources of core public health literature in a single location for the first time. 

ProQuest Public Health brings together highly sought-after content from journals, news, dissertations, trade publications, reports, and more. It combines core public health literature from more than 800 publications (with more than 500 of these available in full text) and more than 9,000 full-text dissertations. Key titles include American Journal of Public Health, Maternal and Child Health Journal, AIDS Education and Prevention, and The Lancet.

ProQuest Public Health reveals the latest research on breaking topics such as H1N1, disaster preparedness, and childhood obesity and key scholarly research themes such as Biostatistics, Environmental Health Sciences, Epidemiology, Health Services Administration, International Public Health, Maternal & Child Health, and Occupational Safety & Health.

ProQuest Public Health is cross-searchable with other ProQuest databases, including ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source, ProQuest Hospital Collection, and ProQuest Health and Medical Complete.
