Health Affairs Blogs are a great resource for research on health policy and health care issues. When citing a Health Affairs Blog, include the name of the blog, the date of the post, and the URL. Here are some tips for citing a Health Affairs Blog:
-Start your sentence with “In a recent post on.”
-Include the name of the blog, the date of the post, and the URL in your citation.
-For posts that have been updated since their original publication, include “revised” in parentheses after the date.
-For posts that have been replaced by new posts, include “new” in parentheses after the date.
-If you are quoting more than one sentence from a post, separate them with semicolons.
