Tips for a Basic Search
With a basic search, filters are exclusive. It is best to use this search when you are seeking information for one audience or one topic. For example, if you select Family/Caregiver and Screening and Testing, then the results will display Screening and Testing information that is specific to only Family Members/Caregivers.
If you want to broaden your search, use the Advanced Search feature
