Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 6   EBP 0764 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Question One Is Validity

Captions available

The idea

"Are the results valid" asks whether the study's results were obtained by sound scientific methods — whether the research process was followed.

In practice

A trial whose method section accounts for how its groups were formed.

Where people slip

Validity is about method, not about whether the finding seems plausible.
