Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 6 EBP 0826 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Continuous Data

The idea
Continuous data range across values — age, blood pressure, a pain score.
In practice
Blood pressure recorded as a number rather than as high or low.
Where people slip
Turning continuous data into categories throws information away, and a study that does it should say why it did. The threshold chosen can change the finding.
