I've suggested before that reading the descriptions on the list of databases for your suject is a good idea. If you've ever done it you may have noticed that the Cochrane database is described as 'Gold Standard Research on Healthcare'. And that's exactly what it is.
It's a collection of evidence based systematic reviews on a wide range of health topics. Many of these are concerning clinical drug trials so will probably not be relevant to your subject area, but there are also reviews looking at illegal drug misuses, mental health issues, childhood obesity and child protection.
If you're lucky enough to find what you're looking for don't be surprised if the reports turn out to be quite big (100 pages is common) so you'll have plenty of references you can track down too.
One more thing; Cochrane isn't from Ebsco so you'll need to save what you find the old fashioned way with the save icon.
And that's it. You can start searching it from here! If you want to know more then you get hold of me via the usual methods.
