Match Resource to Information Need What is the question? How will information be used?

33

Background vs. Foreground Questions Asking questions about your proposed topic

helps to clarify your knowledge gap Clarifying type of question helps to determine

which sources are most likely to have the answers you need

34

Background Questions

Generally ask who, what, why, where or how about a single concept

Example: What are the risk factors for open angle

glaucoma?

35

Answers to Background Questions Require general knowledge of disease and

therapeutic processes Resources:

Ovid MEDLINE Basic Search MD Consult Clinical Topics & Review Articles Reference books & monographs – online and

print collections

36

Foreground Questions

Usually compare two or more concepts – drugs, treatments, tests, prognosis of two groups, harms or benefits of two approaches

Example: Does lowering intraocular pressure medically

or surgically in patients with open angle glaucoma delay visual field loss?

37

Answers to Foreground Questions Require precise information about complex

issues Sources should provide current, original

clinical research data OVID MEDLINE – Clinical Queries Point of Care Databases

38
