Greenwood's "Q&A Health Guides" series addresses myths, pose and answer 50 questions, and conclude with five case studies and resources. Certified nurse midwife and women's health nurse practitioner Quinn frankly discusses types of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), symptoms, and prevention factors. Though the work is primarily aimed at YA readers, the Center for Disease Control notes a rising rate of STDs in the over-45 population, giving this one a broader audience. Clinical psychologist Vitelli's examination of self-harm, primarily cutting but also hair pulling, head banging, and more, is ideal for parents and younger readers alike. Though information occasionally conflicts, overall the book is supportive and easy to navigate.
VERDICT Full of helpful resources, these titles will likely see quiet use on shelves or when fronted in displays.
