This blog introduces you to the concept of confounding. There is a clear explanation and then examples and methods to minimise the effect of confounding during study design and statistical analysis.
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) can be subject to different kinds of bias. Read about different sources of bias in this blog and how much the magnitude of effect can be changed by the presence of bias.
This new webpage from Cochrane UK is aimed at students of all ages. What is evidence-based practice? What is ‘best available research evidence’? Which resources will help you understand evidence and evidence-based practice, and search for evidence?
