Which ASHA position statement supports the use of telepractice as an appropriate service delivery model for qualified SLPs?
Answer: ASHA's Telepractice Position Statement
ASHA's Telepractice Position Statement affirms that telepractice is an appropriate service delivery model for SLPs when it is used to facilitate access and adheres to professional standards.
In research design, what is the function of a control group?
Answer: To serve as a comparison baseline that does not receive the experimental treatment
A control group does not receive the experimental treatment and serves as a comparison to determine whether observed changes in the treatment group are attributable to the intervention.
What does 'effect size' measure in SLP treatment outcome research?
Answer: The magnitude of the treatment effect, independent of sample size
Effect size quantifies the practical magnitude of a treatment's impact, allowing clinicians to judge whether statistically significant results represent a meaningful clinical change.
According to ASHA, what is the SLP's responsibility when no strong research evidence exists for a specific clinical population or intervention?
Answer: Use best available evidence, clinical expertise, and client preferences while transparently discussing evidence limitations
When strong evidence is lacking, ASHA expects SLPs to draw on the best available evidence, integrate clinical expertise, honor client preferences, and communicate the limits of the evidence to stakeholders.
Which statistical concept describes the probability that a study's results occurred by chance, used to determine statistical significance?
Answer: p-value
The p-value represents the probability that the observed results occurred by chance under the null hypothesis; a p-value below the set alpha level (typically 0.05) indicates statistical significance.
When translating research into clinical practice for CCC-level work, which step in the EBP process involves searching databases like PubMed or ASHA Wire?
Answer: Acquiring the best evidence
The 'Acquire' step of the EBP process involves systematically searching evidence databases such as PubMed, ASHA Wire, or the Cochrane Library to find relevant research addressing the clinical question.
