Hi, Malari:
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be getting the hang of joining your terms with boolean operators and creating search statements. Truncation takes a bit of practice and you don't want to overdo it. For the TV question, I would suggest: (tv OR television) AND advertis* AND "prescription drug abuse". And for your question, I would put quotes around "social media" so the database searches for the phrase. Otherwise you are on the right track.
Thanks for your efforts,
Andrea
