CAPHIS Inquiries Correlate to Top Five Diseases in Tennessee

In 2006, a study of requests to the Preston Medical Library Consumer and Patient Health Information Service (CAPHIS) showed a direct correlation between the topics of inquiry and the top five major health issues for Tennesseans.  The Web site now contains special pages for each of these diseases with links to recommended Web sites.  The top five diseases listed are cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.  For more information, visit http://gsm.utmck.edu/med_library/consumer/caphis.cfm.

CAPHIS is celebrating 20 years of service in 2009. Check Scope each month for more interesting facts about CAPHIS leading to its 20th anniversary celebration in October.
