SEARCHING TIPS

How do I search?
Use the search bar to enter keywords or author names. This will identify any terms in the title, abstract and relevant category. Use the advanced search button and dropdown menus for a targeted search by year, income level, vulnerable population, who delivered the intervention, the setting in which it was delivered, the intervention type, and the level of pragmatism of the intervention (i.e., how close it is to real-world care). You can select multiple options in the dropdown menu. Click on a selected option to deselect it. Use the search icon on the right to initiate or repeat a search. Go to the menu on the left to go back to the Home page.
