From syllabus--

Your presentation should be based on information from your textbook as well as at least five additional professional sources (i.e., professional organizations or associations (.edu, .org, .gov website endings; not .com websites, blogs or newspaper/magazine articles), other textbooks or professional publications, peer-reviewed journal articles). 

At least one of your professional sources must be a peer-reviewed journal article (e.g., Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, The Journal of Nutrition, Nutrients). You can find peer-reviewed articles by using search engines such as Google Scholar or PubMed.

You must include a bibliography page in your presentation that uses a consistent citation style (APA, AMA, etc.). See the “Library and Other Scientific Resources” and the example bibliography posted under “Group Presentations” on AsULearn if you need help finding literature/professional sources and citing the sources you find.

Your presentation must incorporate local statistics related to the topic (local could be: NC, Appalachia/rural, Watauga county, Boone) and discuss resources available at a local level.

• Look at your textbook where it addresses your topic.  Does it cite any studies?  (Yes!)  Maybe we should dig up one or two of those.
• Searching for assocations' and government agencies' websites?  See suggested websites below, but also you can add site:.org or site:.gov to your searches.  (But be careful still.  Not all .org websites nor .gov websites are good enough.)
• Searching for peer-reviewed journal articles?  Start with PubMed or when you use APPsearch, click on Peer-Reviewed Articles.
• Not sure if your source is peer-reviewed or "professional"?  Ask for help, but if it has 20 or more references at the end, it is almost certainly peer-reviewed.

You will often want to search on your specific topic, but try browsing these important Nutrition journals also.

Also see CDC's Nutrition page, and the US Department of Agriculture's many resources, starting with nutrition.gov.  Medline Plus also has a Nutrition page.

Also, sometimes I want to get a non-US perspective.  Consider Google searches with site:gov.*      Also,  site:gov.ca      site:gov.uk    site:gov.au

But see other, especially NC data, sources on my health data library guide.

Eating Disorders

We have an almost overwhelming collection of books and journals on this topic.  But be sure to look at these (a research association, a government agency, a reference book):
