Summary: Periodically, GAO produces a special publication dealing with information in a particular field. Health Bibliography contains references to documents concerning health, medicine, health care management, and environmental hazards among other topics. The publication also includes references to audit reports, staff studies, speeches, testimonies, and other GAO documents. The bibliography can be used for a variety of purposes, including in-depth research into a specific topic, searching for a particular document, maintaining current awareness, and just general browsing. The bibliography is organized into two sections: a Citation Section and an Index Section. The Citation Section consists of brief descriptions and often includes an informative abstract. The Index Section is the key for locating references to health-related documents cited in the bibliography. Reference from index entries to the corresponding citations is provided by a unique six digit accession number assigned to each citation. This bibliography contains references to documents released from January 1978 through December 1980.
