CINAHL (Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health) is a collection of primarily peer review articles related to nursing and allied health professions. This is a primary place for scholarship in nursing and public health.

For an in-depth tutorial of using CINAHL, consult the following lessons:

• Basics of CINAHL
• CINAHL Subject Headings

When searching in CINHAL take advantage of using the multiple search boxes to build searches.

The terms AND, OR, and NOT to the left of each search box (or used within a search) can focus results

• AND: All keywords must appear in your results. AND will narrow down a search.
• OR: Either of the keywords must appear in the results. OR will give you more results.
• NOT: Excludes certain keywords from your results. NOT will narrow down a search.

Searching for research articles will take more work than a basic Google search.
