Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 2 EBP 0167 short lesson, about 20 seconds
P — Population
Captions available
The idea
The P in PICOT is the population of interest: who the question is about.
In practice
Hospitalised adults. Adolescents with a new diagnosis. Family caregivers of people with dementia.
Where people slip
A population too broad returns evidence about someone else. Patients is not a population, and neither is adults.
