Literature Search Strategy
Professional research librarians conducted literature searches for this study based on the statement of task and reference interviews with program staff and the committee to identify relevant research. The databases that were searched included Medline, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Titles and abstracts identified in the literature searches were organized into EndNote libraries.
Table D-1 broadly details the scope of each search. The search syntax for each literature search is detailed in the sections below.
