To view ALL interventions, click the Search Button without entering any search parameters.

To find the most interventions, enter search parameters in only one field. For example, if you search "Intervention Title" for 'smoke' you will find all interventions that have the word 'smoke' present in the title.

To narrow your search, enter search parameters into more than one field. For example, if you search "Intervention Title" for 'smoke' AND also enter "Cancer" into the "Source" field you will find only those interventions that that have the word 'smoke' present in the title AND are from 'Cancer.'

Checkboxes: select multiple check boxes to EXPAND your search criteria in that field. I.e., checking all checkboxes in the Rating field will include all interventions that have a rating of 'Best Practice' OR 'Promising.'
