|---|---|
| Using the best evidence available to guide clinical decision making. Proven ways to diagnose and treat patients based on rigorous scientific evidence and clinical effectiveness studies | evidence-based practice |
| The systematice collection of nuerical information, often under condition of considerable control, and the analysis of the information using statistical procedures | quantitative research |
| the systematic collection and analysis of more subjective narrative materials using procedures in which there tends to be a minimum of researcher-imposed control | qualitative research |
| the outcome variable of interest and is the variable that is hypothesized to depend on or be caused by or predicted by the independent variable | dependent variable |
