Public Health - OHSU-PSU Joint School of Public Health

To see what books, journals, or other materials the library has, search the library catalog. If you are looking for articles, search for these in individual databases, not the catalog.

Public Health includes theory and information from a wide range of disciplines. You therefore need to identify different research databases to adequately cover public health questions. There is no one perfect database for researching in Public Health. 

1. Ask yourself, "who cares?" What disciplines care about your research topic? Your answer may guide you to find a database related to a particular discipline.
2. Use OHSU and PSU Library database lists and subject guides
3. Look at the Topics in Public Health tab of this guide for suggestions on databases related to common public health topics.
