Questions that can be used to help with the focus of a P-F-A (purpose-focus-approach) Internet research search include: 1) broad and general (basic information), 2) lay-oriented (to give information to a patient) or professionally orientated (for colleagues), and 3) narrow and technical with a research orientation (Nicoll, 2003).
