Study Notes
Research Study Fundamentals
- A characteristic or attribute of a participant in a research study is known as a variable.
- A descriptive study that provides a snapshot of the situation is a cross-sectional study.
Research Ethics and Administration
- The administrative body established to protect the rights and welfare of human research subjects is the Institutional Review Board (IRB).
- The IRB is charged with the responsibility of reviewing research when it involves human subjects.
- Plagiarism is the deliberate representation or publication of another author's idea, opinion, theory, facts, or statistics as one's own original work.
Evidence-Based Medicine and Research Design
- A hypothesis is a statement about an expected relationship between two or more variables.
- The step in Evidence-Based Medicine that involves choosing the best source of evidence available is called the formulation of an answerable question.
- A systematic review uses repeatable methods to find, select, and synthesize all available evidence.
- Quantities that define a particular theoretical model are called parameters.
- A brief overview of a study, no longer than 3 A4 pages, is known as an abstract in a proposal.
- A disadvantage of systematic reviews is the potential for bias in the selection of studies.
- A cohort study starts with a specific population or group of people.
Research Methods and Design
- Hiding knowledge of treatment assignment to reduce bias in measuring outcomes is known as blinding.
- Objectivity is essential in experimental design, data analysis, and data interpretation to avoid bias.
- Informed consent is the process of telling potential research participants about the key elements of a research study.
- A randomized controlled trial is considered a primary study according to the evidence pyramid.
- Evidence-Based Medicine is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values.
