Q. Can you recommend resources for my assignment? I need to conduct a critical appraisal of the evidence.

The resources below provide a good introduction to this process:

• NICE Glossary

The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) glossary has a searchable A-Z list of research terms with their definitions.

• Understanding the different sections of a research article

  This will guide you through the structure of a research article: abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion and references.

• Mixed methods research

   The 'Understanding Health Research' site provides an overview of mixed methods research.
