1. Randomized controlled trials are an effective research method for measuring the impact of interventions and understanding cause-and-effect relationships by reducing bias. Meta-analyses that only use randomized controlled trials can provide high-quality evidence about intervention efficacy if findings are generalized to similar contexts. 2. There are challenges to implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) including lack of knowledge and skills for applying research, negative attitudes towards research, heavy workloads leaving no time for research, and lack of organizational resources and support for innovation. Clinical expertise and experience can also provide evidence to support EBP. 3. Proper formatting of papers is important, such as double-spacing, one-inch margins, proofreading for errors
