It can be complicated to find information in support of health equity research in scholarly databases due to outdated keywords, complex controlled vocabulary, changes in the language used by researchers, and bias in classification.

During this class, we discuss strategies and resources for researching health disparities and social determinants of health. This workshop is ideal for those with some database searching experience who want to learn the specific skills needed to search for concepts related to health equity research.

Upon completing this class, you should be able to:

• Use subject headings and keywords to search for a specific population in a database
• Describe methods that could be used to search for health equity research using a combination of subject headings and keywords
• Build a search strategy to find citations to inform your research project
