Consumer Health Libguide for the Dell Medical School

This project created a Consumer Health Libguide for the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School to serve patients and the community in order to improve health literacy and understanding and advocate for patients' health. As a result, patients and their families are able to discuss with their medical care provider concerns they may have regarding their medical care needs. Topics include addiction (alcohol, drug, smoking cessation), cancer (breast, lung, prostate, skin), diabetes (prediabetes, type 1, type 2, gestational), exercise, family planning (birth control, infertility, pregnancy and delivery), heart disease (coronary artery disease, heart arrhythmia, heart valve disease, heart failure), mental health (anxiety, depression, eating disorders, personality disorders, PTSD / CPTSD, and psychotic disorders) and nutrition. Resources are provided in both English and Spanish
