Technology hasbrought new and cheaper capabilities in order to serve the patients. This has helped forspeedy processes of healthcare and has greatly influenced in the making of decisions. In orderto bring improvement in the field of healthcare, researchers have incorporated newer ways intheir activities of research (Polit & Beck, 2012). In this article, the writer would apply theDIKW continuum and describe the use of informatics to gain wisdom and knowledge. The Steps of Data and Research Questions The question that is asked is: State the influence of intervention of peer support inorder to prevent the number of the cases of suicide among adolescents. The rise in the cases of suicide among adolescents is increasing at a rapid pace. Thisis a major concern for the health in the United States and many other parts in the world(Silverman, Pirkis, Pearson & Sherrill, 2014).

The pieces of information, which aregathered include the definition of the problem, affected regions and causes (McGonigle &Mastrian, 2015).

Search Words and DatabasesA database consists of several collections of information, which are organized in sucha way that they could be managed, accessed and could be updated quickly. In order toconduct a research study, it is very essential to conduct a word search in various databases.The various databases that could be useful in conducting a study in research are Medline,Cochrane and CINAHL.MedlineMedline is a kind of database, which can store informative resources about severalbiomedical fields and life sciences. The database has several information for different articlesthat would be published in various journals of academics, which can cover several areas suchas nursing, dentistry, medicine and pharmacy. This database has a collection of 5500 articlesthat are related to topics such as mental health, stress, anxiety, and suicides.CochraneCochrane is another non-governmental organization database, which has severalfindings of medical research.
