Databases for the Health Sciences

  • CINAHL stands for Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature
  • Used by medical professionals world-wide for the most up-to-date medical information
  • Best to use if looking for the more specific technical information about a disease, treatment or clinical trial
  • Search by MeSH (Medical Subject Heading) for best results
  • Some results will overlap with CINAHL
  • Located at www.pubmed.gov.  The same as MedLine with Full Text but the screen and searching features are different. 
  • Available freely anywhere.
