OCTH 603L

This course examines the role of research in guiding practice decisions. Students will develop basic skills needed to become evidence-based practitioners by 1) learning when and how to find and use information resources including appropriate literature within and outside of occupational therapy; 2) critically appraising professional literature as it relates to clinical questions; and 3) designing a beginning-level clinical research study. Students will prepare a written research proposal to include a statement of the clinical question being explored, a review of relevant literature, a description of methods or procedures to be used, and proposed methods of data analysis.
