Practical content that isn't found in traditional databases

Our focus is outside of journals, books, and formal publications. We’re also not aiming for conference proceedings, data sets, or dissertations. Instead, we’re focused on materials such as:

Performance data
Guidelines and manuals
Community health needs and impact assessments
Blogs and social media
Protocol and methodology papers
Health education and promotional literature
Policy and positioning statements
Newsletters and blogs
