Understanding health research videos


The National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools (NCCMT) in Canada has published a series of twelve videos to support "evidence-informed public health".  These videos, each only 5 - 10 minutes long, explain some of the basic concepts you need to understand when looking at research evidence.  

  • What’s the Risk? Understanding Absolute and Relative Risk Reduction  
  • Making Sense of a Standardized Mean Difference
  • Evidence Informed Decision Making
  • Effectiveness of Interventions 
  • 6S Pyramid - a tool that helps you find evidence quickly and efficiently  
  • Types of Reviews - What kind of review do we need  
  • Relative Risk 
  • Understanding what a P value tells us  
  • Clinical Significance  
  • Confidence Interval  
  • Forest Plots - Understanding a Meta-Analysis in 5 Minutes or Less  
  • Odds Ratios
