Diabetes (Objective 5-02).   Once you select the specific objective, the website will run a pre-formulated search in the PubMed database, which searches over 15 million journal citations from biomedical publications such as the <I>American Journal of Public Health</I> and the <I>Annual Review of Public Health</I>.  Continuing our earlier example, clicking on the “Prevent Diabetes” objective will generate over 200 journal citations addressing the prevention of diabetes.  These one-click strategies save time and take the guess work out of looking for evidence-based information.
