A global network for students interested in evidence-based health care
Students 4 Best Evidence (S4BE) is a growing network of students from around the world, from school age to university, who are interested in learning more about evidence-based health care (EBH).
Whether you are training to be a doctor, nurse or other health professional, or you’re a school student thinking about studying medicine, S4BE Contributors pull together all the resources on EBH into one interactive space, where we hope you will find the right information for you and help you meet other like-minded students.
This is a community for students, by students. If you think we have missed a particular resource or you would like to write a blog, do get in contact with us. We are always looking for more up-coming bloggers!
If you would like to become a S4BE Contributor please get in touch at general@students4bestevidence.net. If you contribute three or more blogs over a 12 month period, you will be named a S4BE Pioneer, which means we will provide a certificate for you.
Students 4 Best Evidence is in collaboration with a series of organisations to help get evidence-based healthcare into student education. If you would like to know more about becoming a Students 4 Best Evidence partner, please get in touch at general@students4bestevidence.net.

This blog provides a detailed overview of the concept of ‘blinding’ in randomised controlled trials (RCTs). It covers what blinding is, common methods of blinding, why blinding is important, and what researchers might do when blinding is not possible. It also explains the concept of allocation concealment.
