There is no one 'correct' search word to use. Different keywords will give you more results. Think of words that mean the same or something similar as your topic and try those words too. E.g. Poverty, Disparities, Income Inequality, Socio-economic status, etc.
*To help focus your results, add a term such as 'United States' or other geographic limiter.
You may need to broaden or narrow your search terms depending on your results :
Broader Search: Gender instead of Women
Narrower Search: Racism instead of Discrimination
Use the asterisk * to truncate words and widen your search. Discriminat* will search for Discriminate, Discrimination and Discriminating
Use quotation marks to keep phrases together: e.g. "Health Insurance" "Prescription Drugs"
e.g. search Hate Crime AND Violence AND Race
Sexual Assault AND Power Dynamics
Transgender AND Sports Participation
Stereotypes AND Immigrants AND Criminals
Try your search terms in different combinations to get the greatest number of results.
