volunteer mobilization -- keywords

Two term lists that may be useful in searching for articles about mobilizing community support/volunteers.  The second list of terms, a list of terms used for lay health workers, is useful when you're looking for a specific type of worker.  As in "asian allies" OR "asian ally" OR "asian volunteer" OR "asian volunteers"...

engag* OR mobilis* OR mobiliz* OR recruit* OR involv*  OR booster* OR cheerleader* OR allies OR ally OR volunteer*

allies OR ally OR volunteer* OR leader* OR aide OR assistant* OR worker* OR supporter* OR mentor* OR facilitator* OR teacher* OR instructor* OR educator* OR assistant* OR worker*  OR aide*

interventions to improve compliance with pharmacologic therapy

These are not comprehensive searches. Rather they are relatively focused searches for articles about interventions designed to improve compliance to drug therapy. I've been asked for similar searches repeatedly and expect to be asked for work on this search topic again in the future. I'm posting these searches so I have a more advanced starting place for my future efforts. If you are aiming at comprehensive retrieval, removing the [ti] tags and changing [majr] to [mesh] would produce a starting point .

delayed or persistent effects/AEs

I have never come up with a totally satisfactory list of terms for this concept.  The search strategy below is an initial stab at the concept.  Of course, not all terms work in all searches and any suggestions are, as always, welcome.

(longterm OR long-term OR "long term" OR extended OR persistent OR prolonged OR protracted OR unremitting OR late-onset OR "late onset" OR "delayed-onset" OR "delayed onset" OR delayed OR decade* OR years OR longitudinal OR follow-up OR "follow up" )

disparities -- keywords

The "disparities" concept like the "treatment" concept is one that I usually do not include in keyword searches.  However, today I was confronted with a search that retrieved an overwhelming number of irrelevant results without the "disparities" concept so I've started a disparities keyword list.  Suggestions are welcome.

(disparat* OR disparit* OR  inequit* OR unequal* OR inequal* OR different OR difference OR differences OR  discrepan* OR equit* OR fairly OR fairness  OR unfair* OR disadvantage* OR advantage* OR variation* OR barrier* OR "Odds ratio" OR "relative risk" OR "relative risks"  OR versus OR compare OR compares OR comparable OR compared OR comparing OR comparison*)

Depending on the search, the generic 'rate-related' terms might be useful also:

rate OR rates OR incidence* OR prevalence* OR statistic* OR "per capita" OR risk OR risks
