Bias can be introduced at any part of the research process—including study design, research implementation or execution, data analysis, or even publication. Any time you undertake research, there is a risk that bias, or a systematic error, will impact the study’s results and lead to conclusions that tell an incomplete or inaccurate story. Understanding how to assess and critically appraise published research to identify potential sources of bias is an essential skill for clinicians. This session will provide methods to appraise the research you read so that you can identify rigorously designed, high-quality studies that are more likely to yield results that are closer to the truth.
