Building a PICO Question
This video tutorial describes how to ask a clinical question about the effects of a physiotherapy intervention
in PICO (Patient - Intervention - Comparator - Outcome) format.
Once you have developed your PICO question, you are able to build your questions into your search by using the advanced search options on the SBU library website.
On the main library page, select the tab you would like to use, and click "Advanced Search"
In the "Advanced Search" screen, you will see the "PICO Search" builder. Click on that link
Fill in the fields on the PICO Search builder with the information from your PICO question and select submit.
Select any other limiters or expanders you wish to use and click search.
