Look at Wikipedia and study their approach to the topic. We don't recommend using their material directly, but often their articles provide an overview of the key points. Wikipedia often references trusted sources that can be very helpful for SiH authors.

 

Look for trusted introductory publications from organizations such as WHO, CDC, PHAC, etc.
