Ways to narrow your results:

limit to certain years only at beginning of search (e.g. last 10 years)
add another concept to your search using "AND" (e.g. elderly AND housing AND well-being)
limit your results to scholarly or peer-reviewed journal articles only
mark or tag the most relevant articles in your search results and create a smaller list of titles

Ways to expand your results:

add synonyms using "OR" (e.g. elderly OR older adults)
broaden your search (e.g. college students AND stress management
instead of college students AND stress management AND outcomes)
