Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 2   EBP 0168 short lesson, about 20 seconds

I — Intervention or Issue of Interest

Captions available

The idea

The I in PICOT is the intervention or issue of interest — the thing being considered, which need not be a treatment.

In practice

An intervention; a diagnostic test; a risk factor; an experience being studied.

Where people slip

Reading I as "intervention" only will stop you asking about risk, diagnosis, prognosis or meaning.
