<p><strong>ubMed for Handhelds</strong> has a new feature to search MEDLINE/PubMed via PICO.</p>
<p>PICO, which stands for Patient/Problem, Intervention, Compared to, and Outcome, is a method used for structuring clinical questions. This format can also be used for structuring literature searches and may be helpful to those interested in evidence-based medicine<a href="#booth"><sup><font size=-1>1</font></sup></a>. </p>
<p>A PICO feature is available on the main screen of <strong>PubMed for Handhelds</strong> (<a href="http://pubmedhh.nlm.nih.gov"> http://pubmedhh.nlm.nih.gov</a>) and uses a fill-in-the-blank and menu format (see <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>). Comments about this feature are welcomed and can be sent to NLM using the "Feedback" link at the bottom of this screen.</p>
