Cochrane Workshop Picos
The document discusses defining researchable questions using the PICOS approach. PICOS stands for Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Study design. It is a framework that makes defining research questions easier by identifying the key elements needed to answer the question and develop a search strategy. The document provides examples of how to apply each PICOS element when defining a sample question about using modern medicine versus traditional remedies to treat malaria in African children. It emphasizes that research questions should be clear, answer an evidence need, and be written for a general readership not assuming specialist knowledge.
