How to find appropriate research articles - ANS look at research databases
look at peer reviewed journals (peer reviewed is a process that ensure the piece is accurate and
meets journal standards)
use keywords (healthy eating index, parents) ---brings up all articles that contain that keyword
which may not be helpful but does generate a lot of results
subject headings (more specific than keyword search)
Using AND, will help to narrow your search by telling the database that all keywords must be
found. Using OR will broaden your search by telling the database that it only needs to match
with one of the words in your search. Using NOT will narrow your search for combinations that
you do not want to yield results.
Keywords - ANS PICOS
Population
Intervention
Control/Comparison
Outcome
Study Design
Keywords bring up MORE results → some are irrelevant
Mapping → maps keywords into similar terms to yield better results
Feature in many databases
Subject headings - ANS MEDLINE/PubMed → "search by subject headings"
Headings are in database thesaurus
MeSH headings = MEDLINE subject headings
