UNDERSTANDING SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE

When evaluating scientific information, factors such as study design, sample size, limitations, replication, systematic reviews, and the broader body of available evidence should be considered.

Medical research should also be interpreted in the appropriate clinical context.
