PICO is the framework we will use to define our information need. You have already determined your question to be a FOREGROUND QUESTION in the Step 1: Ask tab. (If you haven't, please go back and read that tab, ensuring that your question is a foreground question.)
Now you are ready to use PICO to help us focus on what exactly we are looking for so that we can search for this evidence effectively. Watch the PICO video and explore the related sources.
Familiarize yourself with each part of PICO before watching the video.
