Abstract

Women, as a segment of society at risk for chronic illnesses and complications from normal life events, such as pregnancy and menopause, are seeking information to improve their health status. One tool on the World Wide Web provided by a team of Ohio health care providers, including nurses, physicians, pharmacists, and dietitians, is the Ask an Expert feature of NetWellness. Designed as a consumer health information resource, NetWellness (www.netwellness.org) also is a valuable tool to health care professionals.
