  4. Clinical Expertise Research Evidence Patients’ Preferences What is Evidence-based Practice?

  5. What do we mean by “evidence”? The evidence pyramid is used to illustrate the evolution of the literature. As you move up the pyramid the amount of available literature decreases, but … increases in its relevance for application in clinical settings. Image: http://library.downstate.edu/EBM2/2100.htm

  6. Evidence-based Practice: The Process

  7. A well-built clinical question • Patient, population, or problem • Intervention, prognostic factor, or exposure • Comparison or intervention • Outcomes to measure or be achieved

  8. Types of Clinical Questions Once the basic parameters of the clinical question are established, what type of question is it? • THERAPY/INTERVENION – RCT, Meta-Analysis, Systematic Reviews • OUTCOME– Self-Report Instruments, Patient Centered Measures, Quality of Life • DIAGNOSIS • PROGNOSIS • HARM / ETIOLOGY

  9. Clinical Scenario As a school health educator, you’re interested in learning more about obesity in adolescents and the role of public schools. Specifically you’d like to find out some proven approaches and interventions to address the public health problem of obesity in adolescents and the criteria for designing a successful program. You’re hoping to start a nutrition or diet program, but you’d like some concrete evidence of what works and what doesn’t. You’re hoping to receive some funding for developing this program based on a well-­‐researched and written proposal.
