Background Information
Health resources include materials, people, and programs that help you make informed decisions and
learn more about your own health and wellness. Having a good bank of health resources allows you to
make healthy choices and helps you to identify and treat illnesses. Health resources can be all around
you: your parents or guardians, reliable websites, local pharmacists, and your doctor are all possible
resources. The usefulness and accessibility of these resources are important factors in deciding which
ones you should consult.
