Culturally Appropriate Patient-Clinician Communication Methods for Discussing Mammography Results Among Black American Women Search Strategy

Abstract

To identify studies to include or consider for this rapid review, the review team worked with a medical librarian (TN) to develop detailed search strategies for each database. The PRISMA-S extension was followed for search reporting. The medical librarian (TN) developed the search for PubMed (NLM) and translated the search for every database searched. The PubMed (NLM) search strategy was reviewed by the research team to check for accuracy and term relevancy, and all final searches were peer-reviewed by another medical librarian following the PRESS Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies checklist. The African American search hedge used in this search was borrowed from the African American Racial Disparities search hedge (1). The databases included in this search are PubMed (NLM), Embase (Elsevier), Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) and Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts (ProQuest) using a combination of keywords and subject headings. A grey literature search included Cochrane CENTRAL database (Wiley), TRIP Pro medical database (tripdatabase.com) and MedRxiv website (https://www.medrxiv.org). There were no limits to the search. All final searches were performed on June 13, 2022 by the librarian and were fully reported (TN).
