PICO

What is the PICO method?
PICO is a method of putting together a search strategy that allows you to take a more evidence based approach to your literature searching when you are searching bibliographic databases like Medline (OVID), PubMed and Embase.
PICO stands for:
Patient/Population Who or What?
Intervention How?
Comparison What is the main alternative? (If appropriate)
Outcome What are you trying to accomplish, measure, improve, effect?
