Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 2   EBP 0178 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Etiology Questions

Captions available

The idea

An etiology question asks about the greatest risk factors or causes of a condition.

In practice

Whether people with a given exposure are at greater risk than those without it.

Where people slip

Etiology asks about risk, not about treatment. The two need different study designs to answer, which is why the distinction matters at the question stage.
