CINAHL is the primary database for Nursing and Allied Health Literature. The articles are often more accessible than PubMed, and will be focused on Public Health topics from a nursing perspective. Furthermore, CINAHL is useful because in addition to journals, it includes standards of professional practice, critical paths, book chapters, patient education materials, educational software, and audiovisuals.

Global Health is a public health database focusing on international health issues and concerns. This database is very useful for research on foreign public health issues.

The Health Policy Reference Center focuses on the intersection of public health and policy/law. It has some overlap with Global Health. 

Web of Science is an interdisciplinary sciences resource, and as a result will have a broader scope of sciences coverage than PubMed.
