HCTAL 103 - Intro to the U.S. Health Care System : Research Paper #1- Prof. Lowry: Finding Articles

Use Keywords

Search the databases using the keywords and keyword phrases based on your topic. See the Your Assignment tab for suggestions on how to develop keywords from your topic and search most effectively.

This assignment requires at least 1 peer reviewed article. Not all articles in the databases are peer-reviewed/academic/scholarly articles. See the How to Read a Scholarly Article tab for more information on how to determine if an article is peer-reviewed, how to limit your search to peer-reviewed articles only and how to effectively read a peer-reviewed article.

Suggested Databases

Below are databases that are especially useful for this assignment. See the Search Strategy - Using Keywords tab for effective search techniques

If you need help, ask a Librarian.
