Sources in the Health Science
Information
Conducting research in sector of health science is related to the development of resources and
medical facilities to develop the health of people. Sources are of three types, primary
secondary, and territory (Liberary, 2020). This report will discuss the difference between
the primary and secondary resources, and will discuss the use of these resources in the health
science as well.
Primary resources
Primary sources are original, first-testimony and written in details over a particular point
focusing to deliver the authentic and most relevant information in detailed and concise
manner to the reader. For example, these resources are based on direct observation and
instigation; these are useful to conduct analysis over a specific issue in the health science. To
analyse the impact of obesity primary sources are authentic because researchers collect
information from the patient and doctors by direct interviews.
Secondary resources
Secondary resources are based on the findings of the primary resources, conducting research
on any topic and taking help from the previously written original sources to deliver the new
research about pre-researched topic are secondary resources. Secondary sources are helpful
while doing comparison of primary sources for example discuss the impact of obesity on
different ages and genders person, to find the most relevant information many primary
sources are compared and summarised.
