This bibliography was created in August 2003 to update the Summary Measures of Health Bibliography with additional year 2003 citations. There are additional bibliographies for year 2001 resources and year 2002 resources.
Citations were selected from MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Sociological Abstracts and include English language publications January through August 2003.
Links are provided, where possible, to abstracts in the PubMed database of the National Library of Medicine.
The bibliography is divided into twenty-six sections. Each citation appears only once although material may pertain to more than one topic. Within each section citations are arranged alphabetically by first author's last name.
