THE GLOBAL BURDEN OF DISEASE SEARCH TOOL

The GLOBAL BURDEN Search Tool

Now you can locate any information which is
stored-in, or linked-to by the The Global Burden of Disease Section.

The Global Burden of Disease Search Tool is designed to search strictly in the
The Global Burden of Disease Section.
It is NOT a web-wide search engine!

Boolean Logic for Medlines and Search Engines

"Boolean Logic" terms help reduce the number of articles to review
Note: To combine keywords in your search use   "AND",   "OR",   "AND NOT"   or   "NEAR"
Chiropractic AND Research Both words must exist in the document.
Chiropractic OR Research Either word must exist in the document.
Chiropractic AND NOT Research The first word must exist in the document, but the second must not.
Chiropractic NEAR Research Both words must exist in the document, and be within 50 words of each other. The closer they are, the higher the ranking in the search result.
