Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 6 EBP 0848 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Adverse Effects Enter the Same Judgement
Captions available
The idea
Where a difference between groups comes from a treatment, the nature and frequency of its adverse effects are weighed alongside its benefit.
In practice
A modest benefit set against the harms of the treatment that produced it.
Where people slip
A number needed to treat with no corresponding account of harm gives half the arithmetic.
