When doing a search for health promotion information, begin close to home.

1. Organizations focused on health promotion. Start with who you know. Just like you would begin an offline research using a library or resource center that you know and trust, begin your online searching on the websites of known and respected organizations focused on health promotion

2. Bibliographic databases and journals. Next, expand your search by using bibliographic tools such as MEDLINE or online journals.

3. Navigation aids. Finally, use navigation aids such as online directories and search engines.
