Review the guidelines and grading rubric for the Research Database Assignment . Search for one research database that is relevant to this assignment, and briefly describe the issue you are investigating, the name of the research database, and where it may be found, that is, the URL.
Briefly describe your process for locating databases that contain relevant research studies. Did you have any difficulties or face any challenges?
In last week's TD, we discussed the formulation of the clinical question.

It also gives you a list of appropriate databases on
Remember, things like EbscoHost and ProQuest are not a database - they are COLLECTIONS of databases, and you need to choose one of the databases within those collections. Journals are not databases, articles are not databases, and websites that have no link to research studies are not databases.
I hope this helps.
