Once you have organised all the parts of your research question according to your chosen research question framework, you can also use the framework to start planning database searches.
Here is our example based on the PEO question: What is the impact of climate change on the wellbeing of children?
| Population = young people | "young people” OR “young adult” OR teen* OR adolescen* OR youth OR child* |
| AND | |
| Exposure = climate change | “climate change” OR “climate crisis” OR “extreme weather” OR “rising temperatures” |
| AND | |
| Outcome = wellbeing | wellbeing OR “mental health” OR coping OR depression OR anxiety |
