Critical appraisal is an integral part of the process of Evidence Based Practice (EBP). Critical appraisal aims to identify methodological flaws in the literature and provide consumers of research evidence the opportunity to make informed decisions about the quality of the research evidence. When critically appraising the evidence, make sure to look at the study methodology, the statistical tests and methods used, and the results. If you have questions, find the answers to those questions!
