Clues

  • ability to review the search at various stages and adjust accordingly if required to improve the study (11, 8)
  • from inferential statistics, a range of values in which a population mean is estimated to fall (conventionally 95 per cent confidence) (10, 8)
  • how quantitative information is recorded – according to whether only group membership (nominal scale) or ranking (ordinal scale) is identified, or whether quantities or amounts are directly measured (continuous scales) (5, 2, 11)
  • interventional study involving at least one treatment group and a control or placebo group, so the effect on outcomes with or without the intervention can be compared (12, 6)
  • observational studies describing and optionally comparing the characteristics or responses of a sample (11, 8)
  • participants are chosen randomly from a population (11, 8)
  • researchers deliberately do something with participants with the intention of causing a change (12, 5)
  • the intervention or the treatment expected to affect the outcome (dependent) variable (11, 8)
  • the outcome measures expected to be affected by the interventions (independent) variable (9, 8)
  • when participants are chosen because they are ‘convenient’ (11, 8)
