Research. THE search. WE search.

This talk focuses on the 'PICO' model:

Population and Problem

Intervention

Control/Comparison

Outcome

This model is useful for your literature search (P+I) and all together (P+I+C+O) makes up your research question. It can also be used to interpret a paper you're reading. Also mentioned are sources of funding and support including:

Research Design Service

National Institute of Health Research

Outcomes and methodology are touched on; this is will be further explored in later sessions.

Remember the next session:

GCP and Ethics 18th April.
