How to formulate a technically correct clinical research question for your next project or review
10 June 2020
This 2-hour online lecture and workshop offers the tools and understanding you need to formulate technically correct research questions in clinical and population epidemiology. Ideal for junior to mid-career clinical and population researchers, it focuses on the content of the PICOT acronym (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, study Type) which is used to formulate technically correct research questions in clinical and population epidemiology. It reviews what PICOT is and when it does and does not work to formulate answerable questions. A published example is explored where a PICOT development tool was used to generate search syntax which was then run through a systematic review published in Sleep Medicine Reviews.
Those who view the webinar will be able to:
- Understand the components of the PICOT acronym and demonstrate how they individually and collectively relate to clinical and population health research questions
- Relate PICOT to the flavour of clinical or population health research questions where PICOT does and does not work (e.g. Interventional versus Prevalence questions)
- Recognise how a properly formulated PICOT question can be used to build sensitive search syntax for conducting systematic reviews.
