Welcome
What are you trying to do?
A thesis or dissertation in medicine and clinical research.
Your path
Create the study
Title, purpose, ethics reference and a retention period. The purpose has to be specific enough for a respondent to know what they are agreeing to.
Build the questionnaire
The Studio has an item bank of validated scales you can insert whole, with the reverse-scored items already marked.
Open collection and share the link
Twelve NDPA conditions are checked before the first respondent. Fix what it names and the gate opens.
Analyse
Choose what you want to find out. Assumption checks run whether or not you ask, and the wrong test is refused.
Export the chapter
APA 7 tables and sentences in Word, with the Method section assembled from what the study already recorded.
What people in your field ask
Design and register - collect with consent - describe the sample - answer the primary question - check the assumptions - report to CONSORT or STROBE.
- Does the new treatment work better than the standard one?independent t
- Is the cheaper treatment no worse than the expensive one?non inferiority
- How good is this test at telling sick from well?diagnostic accuracy
- Is our new test better than the existing one?roc comparison
- Does the exposure raise the risk?risk measures
Watch for: p values in the baseline characteristics table of a randomised trial. Any imbalance is by definition chance, and CONSORT has advised against it since 2001.
