Clinical
Pharmacology: This database has a very narrow focus
(information about drugs, supplements, etc.)
All
other health and medical databases: To a greater extent
than many other databases, health and medical databases each have
their own flavor, both in terms of their search interface and
their content. One is not necessarily better or worse than another--just
different. Besides the information of a scientific nature, most
databases also cover issues of interest to students in social
science programs, e.g., public administration, psychology, and
counseling.
