Health Statistics on the Web

Internet Searching Tips

• Locate organizations on the Internet - many organizations and agencies collect statistics.
• When looking for a known agency use quotes  e.g. "Center for Disease Control".
• Try using synonyms for statistics and connecting them by an OR. Examples: statistics OR rate OR incidence OR data
• Use AND to combine words (limiting your results).  Example:  Statistics AND "Center for Disease Control"
• Remember to use synonyms for conditions or diseases such as cardiovascular or heart or cardiac.
• Looking for results that have .gov (government) or .org (organizations) or .edu (educational) in the web address.
