Because this article has no abstract, we have provided an extract of the first 100% of the full text and any section headings.

To assist public health professionals who wish to work on the problems raised in the article "Global Trade and Public Health,"1 I provide information about the key organizations working on global trade issues that affect public health (Table 1Go). A more extensive resource guide appears in a recently published book.2
