Using the Database

These two buttons allow you to access the database in two different ways.

		Browse All Studies presents a list of all 293 studies in the database, showing Reference Number, Author(s), and Citation for each. You can use your mouse or the scroll bar on the right to move up and down the list.

		Search Studies permits searching for a specific study or studies in the database. The first page that you see is a form that you can use to customize your search in several ways.

Special Instructions:
