YA
Need to Know Library series.
These books offer very basic definitions, descriptions, and treatments, as well as coping strategies for people with the conditions and those interacting with them. Breast Health presents more general information about maturing bodies, changing perceptions of female attractiveness, self-examination, and mammograms. Short vignettes add interest, but the photos are dull and add little information. Bib., glos., ind.

Hypothetical vignettes introduce definitions, descriptions, treatments, and coping strategies for people who have the disorders and diseases and for those interacting with them. Looking and Feeling advocates emotional and physical health. Shorter vignettes incorporated in the text supply examples and interest. Color and black-and-white photographs add visual interest but little else. Bib., glos., ind.

As teen-aged Ginny, a stalking victim, moves from denial to empowerment, her story is interrupted by straightforward discussion of stalking and practical advice about what actions to take and what to avoid. Although the advice is solid in this introduction, the color and black-and-white photographs do little to extend the text. Bib., glos., ind.
