Validity

Captions available

The idea

Validity asks whether a study measured what it claimed to measure, and whether its design supports the conclusion drawn.

In practice

A trial whose outcome measure matches the outcome it reports on.

Where people slip

Validity is about the match between claim and method, not about how careful the researchers seem.
