Strategies to find evidence-based articles:
See if there's an Evidence-based Care Sheet on your topic (Top green tool bar). Care sheets cover broad, general disease-related information, but if you have a more specific information need, these care sheets won't help you. You'll need to put the specifics of your patient or intervention into a search using the search boxes.

After you've done the initial search, you can use the "refine search" screen to find just evidence-based articles. Here are some ways to do that:
  • Use Publication Type drop down menu. Select Clinical Trial or Systematic Review.
  • Check Research Article checkbox.
  • Check Evidence-based Practice checkbox.
  • Use Special Interest drop down menu. Select Evidence-based Practice.
