Develop a searchable question using the PICOT format. (The question is a single statement identifying the components of PICOT.)
Refer to “Developing a Question” and “Topic 1: Checklist.”
Recall the components of PICOT from your research course:
(P) Population of Focus
(I) Intervention
(C) Comparison
(O) Outcome
(T) Time
Identify each of the components in relation to your topic.
P –
I –
C –
O –

Examples of PICO questions/statements:

For immune-compromised patients, 50 years and older (P), does the use of pneumonia vaccine (I) reduce the future risk of pneumonia (O) compared with patients who have not received the vaccine (C)?
