Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 4 EBP 0475 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The Goal Is to Understand All We Know
Captions available
The idea
The goal of critical appraisal is to understand everything the literature can tell us about the question, not only what its strongest studies say.
In practice
A body of evidence assembled from several designs rather than one.
Where people slip
Restricting to one design answers a narrower question than the one asked, and does so without announcing the narrowing.
