Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 1 EBP 0066 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Misconception: Evidence Means Randomized Trials
Captions available
The idea
Evidence from descriptive and qualitative studies, and from opinion leaders, is factored into decisions as part of the body of evidence. Where trials are not available, lower-level evidence may be the best knowledge there is.
In practice
Lower-level findings compared against higher-level ones and kept.
Where people slip
A question with no trials is not a question with no evidence.
