Database Search

How to use this database.

• Method 1- uses a free natural language approach.

  After choosing the object of the search – by ticking title, abstract, aims and objective, or author - enter a term, word or name in the ‘Search’ box to return references answering your research question.

• Method 2 - utilises key words.

  Those key words assigned from thesauruses of controlled vocabulary by the trained coders of international bibliographic databases.
  The controlled vocabularies key word are listed alphanumerically under 'Bibliographic database keywords' .
  Use the drop down menu to identity which 'key words' you are interested in to return references to answer your research question.

• Method 3 - is based on the indexing system

  developed by the researchers who compiled this database.
  It adopts a thematic approach to mapping Irish child health research. The themed areas represent outcomes mapped to the International Classification of Disease version 10 (ICD-10) or one of 23 other health-related themed outcomes. Themes are defined in Tables 5 to 7 (of the study report).
  Use the alphabetic drop down menu under ‘ICD-10 or themed health-related outcomes’ to identity which themed areas you are interested in to select references to answer your research question.

• Method 4 – allows papers to be searched by Study type.

  Indexing by study type offers a valuable insight into understanding the population impact of the topic of interest. More than 20 study types were identified across the 2,152 study papers. These are defined in Table 3 (of the study report). Within 'Study type' papers are further stratification by geographical region (Table 49), topic area of interest and study aims and objectives.
  Click on 'Study type' to select the type of study of interest, progressively select sub-categories by topic area or other sub-classification of interest to answer your research question.

The complete background, methods and findings from this mapping exercise are detailed in the study report.

• 1.   Use of a food-consumption database with packaging information to estimate exposure to food-packaging migrants: expoxidized soybean oil and styrene monomer

  The aim of this study was to examine estimate exposure to two food-packaging migrants (expoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) and styrene monomer) using a food-consumption database that collected packaging information

  

  Abstract:

  There is no set protocol for completing refined exposure assessments of food-packaging migrants in the European Union. One novel method that could be used to provide more realistic exposure assessments and also reduce uncertainty in the exposure estimation could be the use of food consumption surveys that also have packaging information. The aim of the current study was to estimate more...
