Becoming A Grown-up Child…
One day in April 2007 my husband and I were the adult kids in our families — we are the only adult children
— and the next day we became what we laughingly call “real grown-ups,” helping first one, then two, and increasingly all three of our parents. It’s time to give back, and we do so willingly and happily. However the process is not easy, and it is not free from anxiety and tension.

Came across your post while browsing my WordPress “Follow” area – Public Health.
Great start here!
Causation/Association is an area of concern for me also.
Recently posted an item at my blog that included this topic
10 (strongly suggested yet humorous) commandments for physicians when prescribing treatments
http://jflahiff.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/10-strongly-suggested-commandments-for-physicians-when-prescribing-treatments/
LibGuides.org [http://libguides.com/community.php?m=i&ref=libguides.com] is a source I use for Web sites carefully selected by librarians.
These library guides are on almost every imaginable topic.
I like how one can limit the search by type of library.
Only downside..I have not figured out how to do phrase searching.
Have used them successfully to find good consumer product reviews, as well as patient/consumer health stuff.
Again, thanks what you are doing at your post.

PS I see you are reading a book by Joan Chittister, I read her columns from time to time at NCR, she is truly inspirational
