Your journey to purchase a new car begins with identifying what’s important to you. You search for cars that meet your criteria and gather information to assess its reliability. For instance, if a report indicates a particular car model has high mileage, you might question who authored the report, its accuracy, and how the data was collected.

In this task, you’ll delve deeper into understanding clinical questions by closely examining your specific question. You’ll also begin analyzing the information you’ve gathered.

Preparation:
Look through the resources and select a healthcare issue that interests you and could be explored through clinical inquiry.
Develop a clear question using the PICO(T) format to address the chosen healthcare issue from Module 2. This question will remain constant throughout the course.
Utilize the keywords from your PICO(T) question to search at least four different databases in the Walden Library. Find at least four relevant systematic reviews or other high-level evidence articles such as meta-analyses or critically appraised topics. These articles may not cover every aspect of your question, so focus on the most crucial elements.
Reflect on the process of formulating your PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research.
Assignment:
Part 2: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews
Create a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 6 to 7 slides where you:
Briefly introduce and explain the healthcare issue that interests you.
Describe how you developed your PICO(T) question concerning this issue.
Enumerate the four research databases you utilized to find the peer-reviewed articles for your research.
Provide APA citations for the four relevant peer-reviewed articles you found, emphasizing systematic reviews. If there are no systematic reviews on your topic, use the highest level of evidence article you discovered.
Explain the levels of evidence found in each of the four articles you selected, including the significance of systematic reviews in clinical research. Offer specific examples to illustrate your points.
Your quest to purchase a new car begins with an identification of the factors important to you. As you conduct a search of cars that rate high on those factors, you collect evidence and try to understand the extent of that evidence. A report that suggests a certain make and model of automobile has high mileage is encouraging. But who produced that report? How valid is it? How was the data collected, and what was the sample size?
In this Assignment, you will delve deeper into clinical inquiry by closely examining your PICO(T) question. You also begin to analyze the evidence you have collected.

To Prepare:
- Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.
- Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest you identified in Module 2 for the Assignment. This PICOT question will remain the same for the entire course.
- Use the key words from the PICO(T) question you developed and search at least four different databases in the Walden Library. Identify at least four relevant systematic reviews or other filtered high-level evidence, which includes meta-analyses, critically-appraised topics (evidence syntheses), critically-appraised individual articles (article synopses). The evidence will not necessarily address all the elements of your PICO(T) question, so select the most important concepts to search and find the best evidence available.
- Reflect on the process of creating a PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research.
The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)
Part 2: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews
Create a 6- to 7-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:
- Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest.
- Describe how you developed a PICO(T) question focused on your chosen clinical issue of interest.
- Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected.
- Provide APA citations of the four relevant peer-reviewed articles at the systematic-reviews level related to your research question. If there are no systematic review level articles or meta-analysis on your topic, then use the highest level of evidence peer reviewed article.
- Describe the levels of evidence in each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, including an explanation of the strengths of using systematic reviews for clinical research. Be specific and provide examples.
