Question

Good day, I am trying to create a PICO question research question. Can you please give me some examples that i can use? I am interested in newborn babies. Maybe something with home births vs hospital birth or water birth vs traditional birth and an increase in death with babies? I am not sure. Please help. Tell me what you want to find out/ what is your purpose of the research question.

Answer 1

Here is an example for framing a research question with PICO model.

A GP with a special interest in smoking cessation wants to encourage those in her practice to engage with teenagers to stop them smoking. In order to persuade her colleagues she wants to see what evidence is available, particularly on the effectiveness of brief intervention techniques.

Population	teenagers who smoke
Intervention	Brief intervention
Comparison	None
Outcomes	Smoking cessation

Brought together as a focused question, it might look like this:

Question	Can brief intervention be used as an effective smoking cessation technique with teenagers

In our given question, the PICO question can be formed as follows

POPULATION; Newborn babies

INTERVENTION: Safe labour

COMPARISON: Choice of thr type of labour

OUTCOME:Neonatal mortality

COMPARISON:
