expertise and patient values
There are two main categories of research: - ✔✔basic research and applied research
4 Sources of Evidence-Based Medicine - ✔✔- clinical expertise
- research evidence
- information from the practice context
- client's values and circumstances
How to determine the strength of the evidence: - ✔✔First, classify the type of information as primary or
secondary.
Then, identify the level of evidence.
Primary Sources - ✔✔Publications that are written by the author; first-person reports and are often
