More tips for you:

• Identify key concepts. e.g. 'type 2 diabetes' and 'prevention'.
• Brainstorm synonyms for each key concept. e.g. 'diabetes mellitus', 'prevent'.
• Use truncation to broaden your search. e.g. 'prevent*' will find 'prevent', 'preventing', 'prevention', 'preventative', 'prevented' etc.
• Use double quotation marks to narrow your search. e.g. "type 2 diabetes" will search for these words as a phrase rather than seperately.
• Combine synonyms with OR and key concepts with AND. e.g. ("type 2 diabetes" or "diabetes mellitus") and prevent*.
