Database Description

The Gale Group Health & Wellness Database^SM is a comprehensive periodical and reference database produced by The Gale Group, providing broad coverage in the areas of health, medicine, fitness, and nutrition. Gale Group Health & Wellness Database is designed to address the needs of health and medical professionals, specialized business and industry researchers, consumers, and a wide range of people seeking a general understanding about important health issues and practices.

Gale Group Health & Wellness Database covers a diverse range of sources, including consumer health magazines, professional medical journals, consumer health pamphlets, medical reference books, topical overviews of diseases and medical conditions, and important referral information. Also included are health-related articles from more than 4,000 other business and general interest publications indexed by The Gale Group in such databases as Trade & Industry Database^TM (File 148), Magazine Database^TM (File 47), and others.

Full text is provided for 70% of the consumer and professional journals; pamphlets, overviews, and other reference material are 100% full text. Four kinds of abstracts are available in Health & Wellness Database: author abstracts, provided for articles from professional journals; "consumer summaries," provided for many of the technically-oriented articles, written expressly for the layperson or non-medical professional; and brief summaries and abstracts derived from other Gale Group databases.

Gale Group Health & Wellness Database includes 170 consumer and professional publications. Also included are 550 consumer health pamphlets published by leading foundations, associations, and government agencies.

Key reference sources also are featured, including five medical reference books (Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons Complete Home Medical Guide, Mosby's Medical Dictionary, The People's Book of Medical Tests, Oryx Press Consumer Health Information Source Book, and the USP DI-VII Advice for the Patient: Drug Information in Lay Language); topical overviews of more than 1,800 descriptions of diseases and medical conditions published by Clinical Reference Systems (CRS); and contact information for support groups, hotlines, and research centers from The Complete Directory for People With Chronic Illness.
