If you don't easily find what you need, contact a librarian for help.
Because library databases like ProQuest contain millions of articles, we can use more complex search terms than when we search book collections.
Try searching for articles on a multifaceted topic. Here are example searches:
"college students" AND wellness
"college students" AND "self esteem"
parenting AND stress
adolescents AND "coming out"
exercise AND children AND "self esteem"
