Assessment-2 Search Strategy
Ten most important public health topics have been identified by the World Health

PICO framework to develop the research question
Population (P) Practitioners in Primary health care
Intervention (I) Inter-professional teamwork
Comparison (C) Weakness
Outcome (O) Improved practice
Research Question
The weakness in the practice of Primary health care practitioners can be improved through
inter-professional teamwork.

 Primary health care
 Inter-professional
 Teamwork
 Practice
 Practitioners
These keywords were used separately and together with the Boolean operators “AND” and
“OR” to make the research focused and yield productive results so that the research can
