Time to re-evaluate how we teach information literacy: Applying PICO in library instruction	2012	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1127	41	45	Its simplistic approach is easy to remember and prompts students of all levels to formulate focused research ques- tions that form the basis of search strategies that find relevant literature. We propose that this broader range of synonyms provides an excellent tool that can be adapted for facilitating student research in many disci- plines, not just health sciences.3,4 Some PICO possibilities include: popula- tion (or participants, principle person or thing, problem, predicament, process); intervention (or a novel therapy, treatment, test, program, educational technique, investigation of time/ exposure/analysis, issues of interest including risk, predictors, anomaly, or improvement); comparison intervention (or standard of op- eration/care/technique, placebo, or possibly no comparison); and outcome (results or endpoint).	cache/crln-8814.pdf	txt/crln-8814.txt
