Searching a Difficult Topic: Blind Psychiatrists
Here is the text of my search process for finding information pertinent
to blind psychiatrists.
” I have a request for a search on blind psychiatrists. That is psychiatrists that are legally blind, as opposed to doctors treating the blind etc. So far I am getting the latter. Any suggestions on how to approach this search? Any help, clues, words of wisdom would be appreciated. Thank you.”
.
You certainly have a search topic on your hands that is laden with difficulties and traps. In pursuing search results on this topic I do strongly suggest two important skills, before I get into specifics, first patience, secondly a good sense of humor for the false hits you will get. For example you will find articles about color blind psychiatrists. <g>
I did find some sources.
A search of all the EBSCOHost databases we own using this strategy:
(blind w0 psychiatrist) OR (blind w0 psychiatrists) OR (visually w0 impaired w0 psychiatrist) OR (visually w0 impaired w0 psychiatrists)
Found only 5 results and only one that appears remotely relevant from one of the great repositories of scholarly research, People Magazine, a vintage edition at that.
A question of vision.
By: Rist, Curtis; Sandler, Barbara. People. 6/24/1996, Vol. 45 Issue 25, p52. 3p
A search of Google Web Search with the SITE: PUBMED
(“blind psychiatrist” OR “blind psychiatrists” OR “visually impaired psychiatrist” OR “visually impaired psychiatrists”) AND SITE: PUBMED
finds 47 results including.
Clinical and methodological factors related to reliability of the best-estimate diagnostic procedure.
Roy MA1, Lanct G, Mette C, Cliche D, Fournier JP, Boutin P, Rodrigue C, Charron L, Turgeon M, Hamel M, Montgrain N, Nicole L, Pir A, Wallot H, Ponton AM, Garneau Y, Dion C, Lavall JC, Potvin A, Szatmari P, Maziade M.
Looks irrelevant but the Methods Section includes this statement:
Three best-estimate diagnoses were derived: first, by a research psychiatrist and research assistant unblind to the relatives’ diagnoses; second, by two blind independent psychiatrists; third, by a panel of four blind psychiatrists.
Unfortunately it would seem that blind independent psychiatrists has much more to do statistical methods than physical visual disabilities in this case.

================================
My growing Statitics Research Guide that now covers in the Government section
http://guides.temple.edu/statistics-sources/gov-stats
Now covers about 40 Federal Government agencies with about 19 database search links for each agency name and terms for statistics.
These searches can be modified on the left side with search terms for specific topics.
Consider the Google Scholar search for this agency
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
https://groups.io/g/Net-Gold/thread/
database_search_results/151916?threado=0
OR
The Search Link
(statistical OR statistics OR data OR demography OR demographics) AND “Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality”
Add these phrases to this search strategy
disablity
disabilities
disabled
(DISABILITY OR DISABILITIES OR DISABLED) AND (statistical OR statistics OR data OR demography OR demographics) AND “Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality”
About 24,100 results
including titles like these:
Barriers and drivers of health information technology use for the elderly, chronically III, and underserved
Untangling the concepts of disability, frailty, and comorbidity: implications for improved targeting and care
Systematic review: factors associated with risk for and possible prevention of cognitive decline in later life
The characteristics of long-term care users
——–
In other words the searches in the Government Agency section of the Statistics Research guide can be used as building blocks for topic specific searches for sources of statistics or use of the agency’s data and statistics in research elsewhere for granular subjects or topics.
