Sociology 245: Sociology of Health (Polonijo)

Before you begin using library databases or the internet to research your topic, you should give some thought to:

• Your Research Question/Need
  • Including any needs for definitions or other basic, reference information
  • Use research frameworks like PICO to figure out the who, what, when, where, etc. of your topic!
• What Types of Information Are Available and Where
  • The difference between review and empirical articles

Preparing to search also involves having a strategy. After you review the subpages in this section, move to the Search Strategies pages, and remember the lessons of PICO when you brainstorm more keywords and start to use Subject Headings.
