Resource Guide

The online California Health Policy Forum Resource Guide is intended to serve as a starting point for those interested in specific areas of health and health policy. It is set up to help users find information, organizations, and other resources related to more than 70 health policy topics in 16 major categories. For each of these topics, the Resource Guide includes a basics/overview source (a Web link) that will orient a user to a specific topic, as well as three or more national-level sources and three or more California-based sources that provide more detail about the topic. This guide is not intended to be a comprehensive resource on all health policy topics.
