U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) and National Institute of Health (NIH)

 

The NLM and NIH developed MEDLINEplus as a consumer orientated database that has extensive information from the National Institutes of Health and other trusted sources on over 600 diseases and conditions. There are also lists of hospitals and physicians, a medical encyclopedia and a medical dictionary, health information in Spanish, extensive information on prescription and nonprescription drugs, health information from the media, and links to thousands of clinical trials.  

 

MEDLINEplus provides a link to a searchable database for healthcare clinicians and facilities. The list is lengthy and facilities may not have suicide prevention in the title. Resources that indicate mental health or psychological services may be the entries to check first.  The NLM/NIH Web site offering this service is available at the following Web address:
