[nabs-l] citation question

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hi Arielle ,

Have you tried contacting someone from the national center about this? It 
would seem to me that whoever wrote the factsheet would have the original 
source for this information. Although, I am rather surprised that the source 
for this information is not listed on the factsheet itself.

Good luck,
Elizabeth
