Phase Two: Finding the Information

Q14. Identify strategies and resources to help you stay informed of developments and events related to health disparities.

Suggested Solution

Several of the databases you examined earlier will allow you to set up alerts on the searches you have run previously. Databases such as Sociological Abstracts, POPLINE's Current Awareness Searches, and PAIS International provide you with the ability to set up alerts.

Journals will often send alerts when new tables of content come out. Be sure to add likely titles to your list of alerts.

Many of the key players will too. Review Module 3 for those who provide alerting services.

After answering this question, you have completed Case 1. Congratulations!
