"i on NIH" Interview of Julia Royall

For a while, NLM has been interested in consumers - end users - how they get their information. If they use it, do they use it to really make behavior change and have better health as a result? So the thought was, since we do a lot of outreach work in Africa, why don't we make a tutorial that would work there?

Julia answers questions about developing NLM’s MedlinePlus African malaria tutorial, the hands-on medical database research workshops she and her colleagues at the Albert Cook library have been conducting for Ugandan medical students, and her experience as a Fulbright scholar in Uganda. This segment appeared in Episode 11 of i on NIH, taped in Bethesda during December 2007.
