Phase Two: Finding the Information

Q9c. Many times keywords get to the heart of the matter. What keywords might you try alone or in combination to retrieve appropriate project information when searching in HSRProj?

Suggested Solution

Entering "community based participatory research" turns up several hits; entering "community based research" yields more than 10, and adding "AIDS" narrows it to one research project described as community based. (In this case using the correct MeSH heading, "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome" does not turn up additional hits but it should be tried).
