This document provides guidance on conducting research for a project on childhood obesity among Mexican Americans. It outlines the research process, including developing a research statement and questions. Key terms to use are identified, such as "childhood obesity" or "pediatric obesity" instead of popular terms. Boolean operators and truncation are explained to help narrow or broaden searches. Several relevant databases are listed that contain scholarly journal articles and reports, including PubMed, CINAHL Plus, PsycINFO and Academic Search Complete. Tips are provided on effective search strategies and getting research assistance from the librarian.
