Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is a clinical decision-making tool to help practitioners in making well-informed decisions about the care and treatment given to their patients or clients.
Use the resources below to learn more about EBP and how to form a PICO(T) question for your research.
Form your research question by using the PICO(T) formula:
P: Population/patient - age, gender, ethnicity, individuals with a certain disorder
I: Intervention - Treatment provided (This may not always be present in your question)
C: Comparison/control - The "placebo" or absence of risk factor, disability, or disease
O: Outcome - (Possible) Results of your intervention
T: Time - the time it takes for the intervention to achieve an outcome or how long participants are observed (this may not always be present in your question)
