Focus group
A focus group is a form of qualitative research in which a group of people are asked about their perceptions, opinions, beliefs and attitudes towards an event, product, service, or concept. Questions are asked in an interactive group setting where participants are free to talk with other group members.
Grades of evidence
Evidence-based medicine categorises different types of clinical evidence and Grades them according to defined scientific criteria.
Grey literature
Grey literature refers to a body of information that cannot be found easily through conventional channels such as publishers. Examples of grey literature include technical reports from government agencies or scientific research groups, working papers from research groups or committees, or white papers.
Interview-based questionnaire
This is a quantitative research method. The aim of this approach is to ensure that each interview is presented with exactly the same questions, in the same order. This ensures that answers can be reliably aggregated and that comparisons can be made with confidence between sample subgroups or between different survey periods. The data is collected by an interviewer rather than through a self-administered questionnaire.
Journal based CPD
A specifically identified article within a peer-reviewed professional journal that serves as a planned learning activity and meets specific pre-defined educational quality criteria.
Literature review
A literature review is a body of text that aims to review the critical points of current knowledge including substantive findings, as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to a particular topic. Literature reviews are secondary sources, and as such, do not report any new or original experimental work.
Multiple choice
Multiple choice is a form of assessment in which respondents are asked to select the best possible answer (or answers) out of the choices from a list.
Outcome
A change in knowledge, skills attitude or behaviour as a result of participation in a CPD activity.
Qualitative interview
The qualitative interview seeks to understand the meaning of what the interviewees say, to incorporate both a factual and a meaning level. The interviewer can pursue in-depth information around the topic.
Random sample
A sample is a subject chosen from a population for investigation. A random sample is a sample chosen by a method involving an unpredictable component.
Randomised controlled trial
A randomised controlled trial (RCT) is a type of scientific experiment - a form of clinical trial - most commonly used in testing the safety (or more specifically, information about adverse drug reactions and adverse effects of other treatments) and efficacy or effectiveness of healthcare services, or health technologies. The key distinguishing feature of the usual RCT is that study subjects, after assessment of eligibility and recruitment, but before the intervention to be studied begins, are randomly allocated to receive one or other of the alternative treatments under study. Random allocation in real trials is complex. After randomization, the two (or more) groups of subjects are followed up in exactly the same way, and the only differences between the care they receive, for example, in terms of procedures, tests, outpatient visits, follow-up calls etc. should be those intrinsic to the treatments being compared.
40
The most important advantage of proper randomization is that it minimises allocation bias, balancing both known and unknown prognostic factors, in the assignment of treatments.
Response bias
Response bias is a type of bias which can affect the results of a statistical survey if respondents answer questions in the way they think the questioner wants them to answer rather than according to their true beliefs.
Systematic review
A systematic review is a literature review focused on a research question that tries to identify, appraise, select and synthesise all high quality research evidence relevant to that question. Systematic reviews of high-quality randomised controlled trials are crucial to evidence-based medicine. An understanding of systematic reviews and how to implement them in practice is becoming mandatory for all professionals involved in the delivery of health care. Besides health interventions, systematic reviews may concern clinical tests, public health interventions, adverse effects, and economic evaluations.
