An Introduction to Critical Appraisal: Quantitative

This session will guide you step-by-step through the appraisal of a quantitative research paper.

It will help you to make sense of the results and assess whether the research is valid and trustworthy.

Some pre-reading will be required and this will be sent to you before the session.

Critical Appraisal Quantitative for preceptorship is also available.
