A note about searching

Caution should be used when developing the search strategy. Limiting the search using equity-related search terms is not recommended as many studies are not indexed using equity-related terms and potentially relevant studies could be missed. For equity-focused reviews, the search strategy may need to be broadened to reduce the risk of missing potentially included studies. Review authors should plan more time for screening.
