Research methodology
A systematic literature review of tuberculosis epidemiology research
in the Province of Quebec and Canada was performed. The primary
electronic database service used was PubMed, a service provided by the
National Institute of Health in the USA that is the primary interface for
searching the MEDLINE database. The following keyword searches
were used to find documents in PubMed: tuberculosis Quebec epidemiology,
aboriginal tuberculosis Canada, aboriginal tuberculosis Quebec,
Inuit tuberculosis Quebec, immigrant tuberculosis Canada, immigrant
tuberculosis Quebec and incidence tuberculosis Quebec. The terms incidence
and prevalence yielded redundant results.
