PDQ Evidence-Based Principles and Practice, 1999, by Ann McKibbon, is not only an excellent introduction
to EBM but also provides search strategies for doing a literature search
using MEDLINE, CINAHL Database of Nursing and Allied Health Literature,
PsycINFO, and EMBASE/Excerpta MEDICA. Order information from B.C. Decker,
