Use OR to expand your search. Multiracial adolescent identity studies may use different words. OR is used most often to combine synonyms of similar terms in a search, since different writers will use different terms.

Use NOT to exclude a term. Records with the first term (eating disorder) will be retrieved, but any records with the second term (bulimia) will be eliminated.
