4. Cohort studies

Usually bigger, but always better?

This is module four of seven critical appraisal training videos. In this fourth video, we introduce the fundamentals of cohort studies and the ways in which we can apply the critical appraisal concepts of validity, trustworthiness of results, and value and relevance using the CASP checklist.

The project was developed to enhance research use and development across two NHS Trusts. The project founding partners were:
- Cochrane Common Mental Disorders
- Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (NTW), UK
- Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust (TEWV), UK

Delivery of the project was supported by the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination at the University of York.

Hello to all viewers n experts.
We are having difficulty in preparing a critical appraisal on 2 topics, can anyone willing to help us to prepare critical appraisal making on a medical journal. We can't find any helper to prepare this & having no idea about that.
Looking for a kind and positive response. 🙏
Thank you in advance .
