Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 6   EBP 0793 short lesson, about 20 seconds

The Sample in a Review Is Studies

Captions available

The idea

In a systematic review the sample is usually the number of studies rather than the number of participants.

In practice

A review reporting that it included eighteen studies covering four thousand people.

Where people slip

Both numbers matter and they answer different questions. Eighteen studies of twenty people each is not a large review.
