What should a clinical nutrition student check while reading research articles?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Source reliability, study method, and limitations of the conclusions
Critical reading requires checking whether the source is credible, whether the research question and design are appropriate, how participants were selected, how data were measured and analysed, and whether the conclusions are justified. Bias, sample size, confounding, and limitations affect applicability. A popular title or attractive table cannot establish quality alone. Students should decide cautiously how findings may inform counselling or practice.
