The goal of this course is to present techniques for critical appraisal of scientific literature; to enable readers to choose only the highest-quality studies that will guide their research and to extrapolate information when necessary from studies of less rigorous design if high-quality trials are unavailable; to provide a list of questions you should ask when evaluating an article.
