 In this video, I will show you how to use the Public Health database to find research articles. You can use this database to research topics such as epidemiology, environmental health sciences, health program development, health behavior, occupational health, public health and disaster preparedness, and many others. Right now, we're looking at the Databases Advanced Search page. This is the page that you reach by selecting the link on the BC Libraries Databases list. From the Advanced Search page, you can enter your search words in the text boxes. When developing your search words, keep in mind that the database contains sources from biological sciences, social sciences and business. So to receive results that best relate to your topic, you'll probably be combining words that relate to different elements of the topic. For example, you might search for the wellness concern or medical condition you're researching, and a setting, intervention, demographic group or other aspect of your topic using words like health behavior, community health or epidemiology. We'll search for oral health and health education. I'm putting these words in quotation marks to tell the database that they should appear next to each other in the results. Below the text boxes, leave the full text option selected to ensure that you find results where our database has access to the complete content. Since the database contains a variety of source types ranging from magazines to scholarly journal articles to dissertations, if your research needs require scholarly articles, make sure the peer reviewed box is selected as well. You also have the option on this page to look for research on specific population groups. The four check boxes located to the right of peer reviewed provide some large scale options. And further down the page, the age group box lets you narrow your results in a more targeted way. You'll indicate that we want research about adults. Back up near the full text box, the publication date box allows you to set parameters for how recently search results should have been published. You can choose one of the set time periods or one of the date ranges to set a custom time period. With our search terms and age group selected, we'll click search to see our search results. From the search results page, you can see that there are additional filters available on the left side such as the ability to readjust your date range under the publication date heading. Or further down on the page, under the location heading, you can select a geographic area where the research took place. Once you've found an item that looks useful for your topic, click on the title to view the articles record page. From there you can read the abstract and full text on the full text tab, read and download the full text and PDF format on the full text PDF tab, or view information about the article near the top of the page. If you'll be using this article for an assignment, you can gather citation information from the site button on the right. Use the drop down menu for formats to select APA 7th. You'll see that the database reminds you to check some features before using this citation. To save the article for later, click the download PDF button next to site, or select all options on the right, and then copy the link that appears directly under the words all save options. Once you've completed interacting with this article, click back to results above the article title to return to your full list of search results. Now we've covered the basics of searching and using articles in the public health database. If you have any questions about this database or your research in public health, please contact the BC Library.
