Using the model for designing clinical questions found in the Rebar and Gersch text,Box 1.3 (Designing Clinical Questions Using PICO or PICOT),
Designing Clinical Questions Using PICO or PICOT PICO – PICOT P = Population: Who you are interested in studying; the population I = Intervention: the treatment or intervention of interest C = Comparison: the intervention you are comparing “I” to in the question O = Outcomes: the outcomes you are planning to measure T = Time of data collection Example: What is the efficacy of individual versus group teaching methods for newly diagnosed adolescent diabetic patients on patient compliance with diabetic regimen? P = adolescent diabetic patients I = individual teaching method C = group teaching method O = patient compliance with diabetic regimen
T = new diagnosed through patient compliance measurement
