Welcome back to the summer series, Research 101, this is Part Two. I'm once again joined in my closet by Chris Patty, and you may be wondering who I let in my closet, The answer would be only those closest to me and Chris is my brother, so he qualifies.

Last week in Part One, we covered the history of research, what research really means, a little about nursing literature, and a lot about the incorporation of AI in our field. If you missed it, I highly recommend tuning in!

In this episode, we delve into what comes next after formulating your PICO question—remember PICO stands for problem, intervention, comparison, and outcome. This question serves as the basis for your protocol when you present to the institutional review board, or the dreaded IRB, which can be a bit intimidating. Chris provides an insightful breakdown of the IRB's role, the key players involved, what’s required in your protocol for approval, and the timeline for this process, which, as I learned, can sometimes depend on how fat your wallet is!

One key highlight I enjoyed was Chris's discussion around evidence; he emphasized that the highest level of evidence comes from meta-analyses and systematic reviews, which sit at the top of the evidence hierarchy. Could the Framingham study be one of these? So many great gems in here!
