Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 7   EBP 0908 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Know the Diversity Before Appraising

Captions available

The idea

Appraising qualitative research requires a sense of the diversity within the field, because that is what makes any set of evaluation criteria usable.

In practice

A reader who recognises which tradition a study belongs to before judging its method.

Where people slip

Criteria applied without knowing the tradition penalise a study for not being a different kind of study.
