@ro12350 You can critique this yes, stating that the study design is not explicitly stated or clear, however... then state what is clearer e.g. X suggests that researchers used X type of methods or numerical data is presented which reflects a quantitative research approach (if this was the case)
@@carolforde-johnston yes mostly, am trying to figure out the best suited appraisal tool, so far I have ruled out the CASP tool, now learning more to JBI. Any further tips on this please?
@muk9463 There's also the MMAT Mixed Methods Appraisal tool that may fit for your needs as it can used to appraise, qual, quantitative and/ mixed methods.
Hi there Mrs. Forde-Johnstone, I have been reading through the recommended website from the CASP website. In our case we are asked to use McMaster Framework when critiquing our quantitative article which seems so similar to what I read from the CASP Checklist: CASP Randomised Controlled Trial Checklist . Are they same? I am getting more information from than from the University.
@Julian-sn7ip The McMaster Critical Appraisal tool & CASP tool for assessing the quality of research studies are different so the references are different. Both tools do the same thing, they provide a series of questions to appraise and evaluate the quality of research study. Both are reliable and good tools to use which ever one you choose. I hope that helps.
Hi what if the article doesn't explicitly state a study design. Is this a limitation?

@@carolforde-johnston Thank you so much, very helpful :)
@ro12350 My pleasure, glad it helps.
Another great video! I wish this was available when I did my research module.
Thanks so much for the feedback Terence
Thanks Carol, would you say a study to examine how one intervention compares to another in terms of patient outcomes is a quantitative study?
Usually they are quantitative but it depends on the patient outcomes, are the findings in numerical data? If so quantitative

@muk9463 JBI tools good

@@carolforde-johnston You are an amazing lecturer!
Abit confused, can CASP be used to appraise a quantitative study?
@muk9463 Depends on type of quantitive e.g. we have RCT CASP, see link: casp-uk.net/casp-tools-checklists/
