Advanced Search Techniques: MESH and PICO

MESH

The Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) thesaurus is a controlled and hierarchically-organized vocabulary produced by the National Library of Medicine. Use MeSH in CINAHL and PubMed to conduct research on medical/clinical topics.

Watch this video on using MeSH in PubMed.

PICO

PICO is a format for developing a good clinical research question prior to starting one’s research. Use the PICO format in CINAHL and Cochrane to search for scholarly articles about interventions.
