چکیده
Searching Twenty-three databases of published and grey literature were searched using a pre-specified search strategy. These sources included MEDLINE (from 1966 to October 1998), databases on BIDS (from 1981 to October 1998), EconLit (from 1969 to October 1998), EMBASE (from 1985 to October 1998), Cancerlit (from 1985 to October 1998), CINAHL (from 1982 to October 1998) and PsycINFO (from 1985 to October 1998). Additional references were located by handsearching (Journal of Medical Screening), by screening the references of included studies, and by contacting specialists in the subject area of the review. There were no language restrictions.
