Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 6 EBP 0825 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Dichotomous Data
Captions available
The idea
Dichotomous data record whether an outcome is present or absent — a yes or a no.
In practice
Whether a participant developed a condition; whether they quit; whether they were readmitted.
Where people slip
Dichotomous outcomes are what the risk measures in this strand are built for. Everything from the two-by-two table onward assumes them.
