PURPOSE:

The purpose of this National Library of Medicine (NLM) Division of Specialized Information Services (SIS) information collection is to obtain qualitative feedback from potential users of NLM health information resources for emerging adults (young adults ages 18-25).

Results of the information collection will be used to improve existing consumer health information resources and develop new specialized modules and resources targeting this population.

Two groups will be conducted with students at University of Maryland, College Park, a 4-year residential college; one group will be conducted with low-income young adults attending Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland, a 2-year commuter community college. Twenty-seven students will be recruited to participate in the focus groups.
