Better Search Techniques:
I typed steroids in Destiny Quest, and found that there is a print book I can check out. To expand my keyword search, I also looked for performance enhancing drugs. There is an e-book available though Follett Shelf that I can check out too. My local library also has a book I can borrow.
Now I am looking for scholarly studies on my topic of Steroid Use Among High School Students. My essential question is: How can steroid use among high school students be prevented? All my research should go into answering this essential question. I typed the keywords “high school ” steroids for my search in the following issues-based library databases: Opposing Viewpoints, TopicSearch, and JSTOR.
From my research in the databases, I learned that there was a study done in 2012 called "Monitoring the Future." In Google, I searched: steroids “monitoring the future”. From there, I found information and links to the National Institute on Drug Abuse which provided more data.
When I did the same search in Google: “high school” steroids, I got a lot of old articles from various newspapers. This wasn't exactly what I wanted. I scrolled to the bottom, clicked on Advanced Search, and changed the Last updated to Past Year. I received a lot of newer newspaper articles. Some of them were interesting and had information that I could use. I went back to Advanced Search and typed .gov in the Domain. I received a lot of government reports. Then, I changed the .gov to .edu and received college and university studies. These will prove useful for my paper.
