Search strategies for "Articulating a global research agenda on the effects of climate change hazards on hygiene-related health and wellbeing outcomes"

A draft search strategy was compiled in the Ovid Medline ALL database by an experienced information specialist. The search strategy included strings of terms and synonyms to reflect the following concepts: (1) climate change, (2) hygiene, (3) adaptations or perceptions. Publication date was limited from 2000 to current. No other limits were added. The search strategy was refined with the project team until the retrieved results reflected the scope of the project. The following databases were searched on 28 March 2024: Ovid Medline ALL; Ovid Embase; Ovid Global Health; EBSCOhost GreenFILE. The draft search was adapted for each of the databases to incorporate database-specific syntax and controlled vocabularies.
