The Foreground Question

Captions available

The idea

A foreground question is specific and searchable, and when answered provides evidence for a clinical decision.

In practice

A question about whether one intervention changes an outcome compared with another.

Where people slip

Specific does not mean narrow. A foreground question can cover a broad population and still be specific in form.
