Framing Your Questions

Learning to frame questions well helps you to save time searching for information and prevents you from being misled by advertising. It’s all too easy to find the right answer to the wrong question. As you will discover, there is a structure to a well-framed clinical question that empowers you to identify answers that will be most relevant to you – where you end up finding the right answer to the right question.

Medicine largely focuses on making diagnoses and choosing therapy. For simplicity in this section we will focus on how to structure questions around therapy.

We will first begin with the four key components of a well-framed question exploring the efficacy of treatment and explore an example that illustrates why each of these components of the question is so important.

Next we’ll discuss the five major outcomes to consider in making a decision about the best course of therapy.

Finally, you will learn how to incorporate each of these outcomes into five separate well-famed clinical questions that are essential to making your ultimate choice in treatment.
