Title:
Understanding the PICO (Population, Intervention, Control, Outcomes) framework
The discussion:
Throughout the week, we will run an interactive journal club focusing on understanding the PICO framework and its importance in research.
We will look at three very different studies, discussing the paper synopsis, the PICO and then highlighting things which are different between the studies, how this may be beneficial, and what possible biases there could be.
Here are the three studies we will look at:
The week is aimed at anyone with an interest in evidence-based practice. All are welcome to join in. You do not need to have any clinical knowledge of these topic areas. The aim is to better understand the PICO framework and critique its use in a variety of different studies.
