Article: A Pro explains how to research medical question

Posted by parrot53 @parrot53, Sep 5 7:12am

I found this article today and wanted to share it for those here who are seriously wondering how to sift through the seemingly endless information available. I always look for reliable sources of course but this article explains a more in depth approach for the serious searchers.

Happy hunting😊

@parrot53 Thank you for the excellent resource. I have bookmarked it to share.
To all - please note that the author does not mention using Google, Meta or AI for serious research, because it is SO difficult to separate good information from bad.

Another good search engine for finding research studies & systematic reviews is:
scholar.google.com.

Google Scholar has the advantages of being able to set a time frame for your research and to limit the responses to only systematic reviews.
