Joins WIN in Cyberspace

The Weight-control Information Network's (WIN) database on weight control, obesity, and weight-related nutritional disorders is now available through the Combined Health Information Database (CHID) on the World Wide Web.

CHID, a computerized bibliographic database developed by health-related agencies of the Federal Government, contains references to health information and health education resources on 16 topics. To access CHID,visit http://chid.nih.gov or WIN's Web site.

By visiting WIN online and choosing "Literature Searches from the Combined Health Information Database," users can conduct simple and detailed searches. Users can also read, print, and download completed CHID literature searches on several topics, including:

The database provides titles, abstracts, health education resources, and program descriptions not indexed elsewhere. New records are added quarterly, and current listings are checked regularly to ensure entries are up-to-date and still available from their original sources.
