In this course, you'll be tasked with creating a research question focused around a clinical intervention. Once you have built a proper PICOT question, you will begin to find evidence to help answer your question.
This module will help guide you through the research portion of this assignment, specifically in finding and accessing evidence. You will need to have a fully formulated research question (PICOT) before you start this process, as your PICOT question will help inform your search strategy, including finding search terms to use in the databases.
