Health information and sources
Understand the purpose and limits of NIAAH’s educational resources and external source collection.
A starting point for learning
NIAAH’s health resources are for general education. They do not replace diagnosis, treatment, or advice from a qualified health professional. The homepage collection identifies external publishers and links to the original material, where readers should check publication dates, authorship, and current guidance.
Inclusion in the resource collection does not imply a formal partnership or endorsement by the publisher. NIAAH’s program descriptions, publications, and external educational links serve different purposes.
Check the source and ask questions
When using a health resource, review its original source, date, evidence, and relevance to your circumstances. An author’s view or a book description should not be treated as clinical guidance.
For a factual correction, broken source link, or question about material on this site, include the page address and the specific concern when contacting NIAAH.
