The American Psychological Association (APA) Help Center offers useful facts, information, and advice on how psychological services can help people cope with problems such as stress, depression, family strife, or chronic illness. The site provides sections devoted to psychology in the workplace, the health implications of the mind/ body connection, family and personal relationships, and psychology in daily life.
The Help Center Interest Areas (Work & School, Family & Relationships, Health & Emotional Wellness, Disasters & Terrorism, and Managed Care & Health Insurance) provides up to date evidence based suggestions on how to handle everything from everyday stress to real emotional crisis. Related APA Resources are available within each Interest Area and link to supplemental articles, newsletters, and web pages. Other Help Center Resources include Find a Psychologist, Order Free Brochures, and Request a Speaker, as well as a large quantity of freely available articles and videos on psychology and psychotherapy related topics.
The full text of articles from APA Help Center may be reproduced and distributed for noncommercial purposes with credit given to the American Psychological Association. Any electronic reproductions must link to the original article on the APA Help Center. Any exceptions to this, including excerpting, paraphrasing or reproduction in a commercial work, must be presented in writing to the APA. Images from the APA Help Center may not be reproduced.
The CDC recently released InfoByLocation, a new resource that tracks environmental public health. Users can search by county or zip code. The results snapshot is broken down into five categories: demographics, asthma, air quality, smoking, and health insurance. For more detailed information, each category contains links to “Discover the data” and “Learn more about this topic.”
“Discover the data” links to the National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network Reporting Tool, a collaboration between the CDC and state and local health departments. This database currently includes over 50 GB of data, 1.4 million unique maps, and covers 35 environmental health issues. The robust search tool allows users to select specific environmental health issue; choose geographic location and timeframe; and refine with advanced options. Results are displayed as maps, charts or tables. The timeline map view provides an easy way to see changes over multiple years. Data is available in CSV format for use in spreadsheets and statistical software packages. Maps, charts and tables can be saved as image files in .PNG format for use in reports and presentations. Climate change is the most recent addition to this database, including predicted extreme heat days for the next 60 years.

Here are three innovative apps for physicians and healthcare providers released in 2014. These apps are free and they are available for all platforms: iPhone, iPad and Android. Use your own Apple iTunes account to download a free copy.
CDC Vaccine Schedules
The CDC’s Vaccine Schedule app is essential for primary care, pediatric or any physician who gives vaccinations to their patients. Some of the more prominent features of the app are the ability to look up recommended adult vaccines based on conditions such as pregnancy, diabetes, HIV, and more.
JAMA Network Medical Image Challenge
JAMA released their version of the image challenge app — the JAMA Network Medical Image Challenge. The app has an interesting quiz function and is great for learning on the go. You can compare your answers to peers and also see how you’re progressing through a point scoring system.
ASCVD Risk Estimator
The ASCVD Risk Estimator provided by the American College of Cardiology was released in 2014. The app helps health care providers and patients estimate 10 year and lifetime risks for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This mobile app can help change a physician’s workflow and practice for the better.
