Evidence-Based Project, Part 2: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews

This assignment will be an approximately 7 slide ppt presentation. Use these suggestions for your slides: 

1. Cover and title slide with your name, course, date, etc 

2. Introduction and purpose for your inquiry 

3. PICO(T) question. Please identify P.I.C.O. and T 

4. The 4 databases you used for your search. You need to USE four data bases, but your articles do not need to be from each of the 4 databases. 

5. For each of 4 research articles pertaining to your idea give a brief notation of the level of evidence. On this slide also be sure to mention the benefit of using a systematic review, even if you do not have a source utilizing one. 

Here is a reminder of levels of evidence for you: 

Level of evidence (LOE)	Description
Level I	Evidence from a systematic review or meta-analysis of all relevant RCTs (randomized controlled trial) or evidence-based clinical practice guidelines based on systematic reviews of RCTs or three or more RCTs of good quality that have similar results.
Level II	Evidence obtained from at least one well-designed RCT (e.g. large multi-site RCT).
Level III	Evidence obtained from well-designed controlled trials without randomization (i.e. quasi-experimental).
Level IV	Evidence from well-designed case-control or cohort studies.
Level V	Evidence from systematic reviews of descriptive and qualitative studies (meta-synthesis).
Level VI	Evidence from a single descriptive or qualitative study.
Level VII	Evidence from the opinion of authorities and/or reports of expert committees.

 

6. Conclusion slide 

7. A slide with all of your resources typed in APA format (double spaced, indented, properly italicized where pertinent according to the new APA manual). You will have 4 references pertaining to research (cited on cited on slide 5) and 2-3 course resources from our course resources list)
