Workbooks

We have developed several workbooks for students to use in the "Health Information

on the Internet" classes. As we have taught classes for seniors, parents, and mental

health services clients, we have modified the workbooks for each group. The main

differences between the workbooks for the different groups are the exercises and examples.

We have also created a Spanish version of the workbook for parents of young children. Each

workbook is available here for downloading and printing. You need Adobe Acrobat Reader

to see the workbooks.

Please note that we will be updating the workbooks periodically. We welcome your

suggestions and inputs on how we can improve the workbooks. Please send your suggestions

to Maxine.Rockoff@dbmi.columbia.edu
