Dear List members,
A few weeks ago I posted a message asking for assistance in
locating a search strategy for finding systematic reviews and RCTs on
PsycINFO. I received three very useful responses which I summarise
below. Thanks very much to those who responded and my apologies
for the delay in posting this summary message.
Regards,
Cathie

and
