Searching a Difficult Topic: Blind Psychiatrists


Here is the text of my search process for finding information pertinent
to blind psychiatrists.


" I have a request for a search on blind psychiatrists.  That is 
psychiatrists that are legally blind, as opposed to doctors treating the 
blind etc.  So far I am getting the latter.  Any suggestions on how to 
approach this search?  Any help, clues, words of wisdom would be 
appreciated.  Thank you."

.


You certainly have a search topic on your hands that is laden with 
difficulties and traps.  In pursuing search results on this topic I do 
strongly suggest two important skills, before I get into specifics, first 
patience, secondly a good sense of humor for the false hits you will get. 
For example you will find articles about color blind psychiatrists. <g>


I did find some sources.


A search of all the EBSCOHost databases we own using this strategy:

(blind w0 psychiatrist) OR (blind w0 psychiatrists) OR (visually w0 
impaired w0 psychiatrist) OR (visually w0 impaired w0 psychiatrists)

Found only 5 results and only one that appears remotely relevant from one 
of the great repositories of scholarly research, People Magazine, a 
vintage edition at that.


A question of vision.

By: Rist, Curtis; Sandler, Barbara. People. 6/24/1996, Vol. 45 Issue 25, 
p52. 3p


A search of Google Web Search with the SITE: PUBMED

("blind psychiatrist" OR "blind psychiatrists" OR "visually impaired 
psychiatrist" OR "visually impaired psychiatrists") AND SITE: PUBMED

http://tinyurl.com/h4vmhqw

finds 47 results including.


Clinical and methodological factors related to reliability of the 
best-estimate diagnostic procedure.
Roy MA1, Lanct G, Mette C, Cliche D, Fournier JP, Boutin P, Rodrigue C, 
Charron L, Turgeon M, Hamel M, Montgrain N, Nicole L, Pir A, Wallot H, 
Ponton AM, Garneau Y, Dion C, Lavall JC, Potvin A, Szatmari P, Maziade M.

Looks irrelevant but the Methods Section includes this statement:

Three best-estimate diagnoses were derived: first, by a research 
psychiatrist and research assistant unblind to the relatives' diagnoses; 
second, by two blind independent psychiatrists; third, by a panel of four 
blind psychiatrists.

Unfortunately it would seem that blind independent psychiatrists has much 
more to do statistical methods than physical visual disabilities in this 
case.

My growing Statitics Research Guide that now covers in the Government 
section


http://guides.temple.edu/statistics-sources/gov-stats

Now covers about 40 Federal Government agencies with about 19 database 
search links for each agency name and terms for statistics.

These searches can be modified on the left side with search terms for 
specific topics.


Consider the Google Scholar search for this agency

prevention of cognitive decline in later life

The characteristics of long-term care users

In other words the searches in the Government Agency section of the 
Statistics Research guide can be used as building blocks for topic 
specific searches for sources of statistics or use of the agency's data 
and statistics in research elsewhere for granular subjects or topics.
