Evidence supporting dietetic practice is evolving rapidly. As practitioners, we are challenged on a regular basis to incorporate new nutritional knowledge claims that are seemingly supported by evidence. but how do we know whether the research is sound or provides enough evidence to change our practice?
In this program, Joanne Hamilton describes a framework for evidence-based practice and discusses practical methods to evaluate research that is focused on enhancing professional practice.
At the conclusion of this program, you will be able to:
- describe Sackett's (1996) framework for evidence-based practice;
- describe key terms for assessing research quality;
- and evaluate research articles relevant to dietetics for quality and application to practice.
