Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 2   EBP 0184 short lesson, about 20 seconds

A Research Question Has Direction

Captions available

The idea

A research question states a directional outcome — that something will reduce or improve — because it is testing that proposition.

In practice

A question asking whether an intervention reduces an outcome.

Where people slip

Direction is not a flaw. It is what makes it a research question rather than a clinical one.
