Reading checklist

Questions to ask of any study

  • Who took part, and how closely do they resemble the reader?
  • How many participants were included, and for how long were they followed?
  • Was the study a trial, an observational analysis or a review?
  • Who funded the work, and are conflicts of interest declared?
  • Do the authors discuss limitations plainly?
Planning sequence

Using the library

  1. Read the summary article on the topic of interest.
  2. Open the cited sources and read their abstracts.
  3. Check unfamiliar words in the glossary.
  4. Note personal questions for a clinician or qualified coach.
  5. Revisit the article after a few weeks to see whether notes still hold.
A resource list is only useful if it makes the reader a better questioner of sources, including this one. Genesis therefore links to originals wherever possible and states clearly when a summary is simplified.
