Health Sources on the Web, Part II:  Non-Government Sources

            This installment has links to general health web resources that are not affiliated with state and national government.  I have chosen links that are free, informative, and in some cases aimed specifically at a teen audience.

            This site is also aimed specifically at teens.  Although it is not as eye-catching as the site listed above, it has a question and answer section that teens can write to for confidential advice.
