Abstract
  • The paper covers the development, evaluation, and validation of search strategies for IPE studies in PubMed, to improve future access to and synthesis of IPE research. These search strategies, or search hedges, provide comprehensive, validated sets of search terms for IPE publications. The searches were created for PubMed using relative recall methodology. The research methods followed the guidance of previous search hedge and search filter validation studies in creating a gold standard set of relevant references using systematic reviews, having expert searchers identify and test search terms, and using relative recall calculations to validate the searches’ performance against the gold standard set. The three recommended search hedges for IPE studies shared here had recall of 71.5%, 82.7%, and 95.1%, and can be used to expedite the process of finding relevant scholarship, to stay up to date with IPE research, and to conduct literature reviews.
  • Tables and figures, including a document with the complete search hedges, to accompany the manuscript for the study, "Validation of an interprofessional education search strategy in PubMed to optimize IPE literature searching."
