Which of the following is not true regarding background questions? - Answer -(Here are
things that ARE TRUE regarding background questions if these are not on the list then
that is probably the answer!)
-General knowledge -broad inquiries -1. the problem and - 2. the root question: (who,
what, where, when, why and how?) These are used to narrow down the scope and
search about a topic to find the details for the PICO question.
What does PICO stand for? - Answer -P-problem
I-Intervention: new item being introduced
C-comparison- old product/current product or method
O-outcome
Which element of PICO is optional? - Answer -C-comparison- old product/current
product or method
(PIO is used if your topic is too specific and you need more results)
Can also put in T (PICOT) to narrow the results.
, Which of the following is not an advantage of secondary research? - Answer -The
advantages of a systematic review. A systematic review uses scientific methodology to
systematically identify all relevant literature around a clinical question, critically appraise
the studies, evaluate the data, and develop conclusions. A high-quality systematic
review is a reliable source of valid information for clinical decision making.
Which of the following study types works best for studying risk factors for rare diseases
- Answer -- case - control study
Which of the following study types works best for determining the effectiveness of a
particular therapy or treatment - Answer -RCT
Which of the following would provide the highest level of evidence? - Answer -
Systematic review (pyramid)
Research done to explore issues and potentially generate new theories is usually? -
Answer -Primary research
Which of the following statements is true regarding literature reviews? - Answer -- a
literature review is;
- a survey and discussion of the literature in a given area of study
- a concise overview of what has been studied, argued and established about a topic. -
it is a secondary source
- presents the finding in an organized, concise manner and is written in an essay format
- body of literature that explains and provides background information
- evaluates previous & current research in regard to relevance & usefulness to your
research
**it must be organized around and related directly to your research question, synthesize
results into a summary of what is and is not known, identify areas of controversy and
formulate questions that need further research
A researcher identifies a persons with and without lung cancer at the start of a study,
information is than collected with personal interviews, with the participants asking about
