“Finding Evidence”: Searching
Strategy
1

• Decide if the question is a Foreground or Background Question

• Convert clinical Foreground question to searchable question
(e.g. PICO)

• Choose the database you want to search: Primary (e.g.
Pubmed), Secondary (e.g. Cochrane)or Tertiary (e.g. Trip
Database)

• Apply filters to restrict your search (e.g. PubMed limits linked to
PICO such as gender, age, study type limits)

Strategy

• Appraise your Primary studies: Critical Appraisal Tools

• Assess result (e.g. using systematic review worksheet)

• Decide if you have enough information to make a decision

• If not then refine steps 2-4 until you either have an answer or
decide there isn’t enough evidence to make an evidence based
decision
