Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 19 EBP 2739 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Research Methods Are Reserved for Research
Captions available
The idea
Research methods must be reserved for research rather than used in evidence implementation. Inferential statistics, meaning significance testing, is not appropriate for evidence implementation.
In practice
An implementation project reporting whether its change held, not a p-value.
Where people slip
This is a sharp instruction and it contradicts common practice. An implementation project is not a small trial.
