Critical thinking and Appraisal Resource Library

2018-01-04T15:27:20+00:00

NEW ARTICLE ON PLOS: Establishing a library of resources to help people understand key concepts in assessing treatment claims—The “Critical thinking and Appraisal Resource Library” (CARL) 'People are frequently confronted with untrustworthy claims about the effects of treatments. Uncritical acceptance of these claims can lead to poor, and sometimes dangerous, treatment decisions, and wasted time and money. Resources to help people learn to think critically about treatment claims are scarce, and they are widely scattered. Furthermore, very few learning-resources have been assessed to see if they improve knowledge and behavior.' 'Our objectives were to develop the Critical thinking and Appraisal Resource Library [...]

CASP Fest! – A review of the day from Heather Lodge

2018-01-04T14:38:56+00:00

Heather Lodge (Public Health England) May 2015 There is something special about the Mawby room at Kellogg College, Oxford. You could be forgiven for finding it unprepossessing. It is quite a dark room with a good view of the car  park and the busy Banbury Road. At best, the room holds about 25 people and negotiating your way between the tables requires a dexterity of footwork that wouldn’t go amiss on Strictly Come Dancing. The room has no whizzy technology to enable group learning; it has simply a lectern, projector and flipchart but, much of the time, it doesn’t need even those. [...]

International Clinical Trials Day – Tuesday 20th May 2014

2018-01-04T13:54:39+00:00

It’s International Clinical Trials Day. Watch the new AllTrials campaign video. And change something. Results from around half of clinical trials have never been published. Information on what was done and what was found in these trials could be lost forever to doctors and researchers, leading to bad treatment decisions, missed opportunities for good medicine, and trials being repeated. The contributions of the hundreds of thousands of patients who took part in those trials remain unused and unusable. All trials past and present should be registered, and the full methods and the results reported. Sign up to make clinical trials count. [...]
