This site has been created to facilitate web use by the UMSL faculty and nursing students to access health-related data. It is a work in progress, but will provide some sites from which to begin your search. If you find a link that doesn't work or you have a suggestion, please send an email to nursing@umsl.edu.

UMSL Data Resources
UMSL faculty and students can use the UMSL library database search page. This page allows searchs of the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPRS) databases. The site enables you identify the databases you are interested in, submit a request via an UMSL request form, and access the databases later from this same site. Raleign Muns is the creator of database search page and the contact person at UMSL. Most schools have ICPRS representatives. If you are not from UMSL, check with your library for an ICPRS representative. The databases are identified and linked below, but the UMSL request forms and databases are maintained on the database search page.
