based on the weight of the scientific evidence, field observations, and individual client
needs and preferences.
Prediction
🗸🗸: An expected outcome generated from a hypothesis
Theory
, 3
🗸🗸: A hypothesis or set of hypotheses for which a large body of high-quality evidence has

🗸🗸: 1. Systematic Reviews
2. Randomized Controlled Trials
3. Observational Research
4. Peer Reviews
5. Non-Peer-Reviewed Media, including anecdotes
Anecdote
🗸🗸: an account of a person's experience or event
Uncontrolled Variable
🗸🗸: A variable in an experiment that a scientist makes no effort to manipulate or account
for.
Primary Research
, 4
🗸🗸: Original research where scientists perform experiments and collect data - this is in
contrast to secondary research where scientists analyze data that has already been

Observational Research
🗸🗸: Research in which a researcher observes ongoing behaviors to determine correlation.
Correlation

🗸🗸: A type of scientific study/trial where participants are randomly assigned into different
groups - one or more will be the intervention to be tested and one will be the control group.
