Critically Appraised Paper Series

As a final assignment in the OT 503 Research Methods in OT course, Year I doctoral students write critically appraised topic (CATs) papers based on topics provided by faculty that important for current practice. Students devise a formal clinical question, write case scenarios based on evidence, and answer the clinical question following a literature review of most recent evidence. Faculty members for the course work with students formatively on the CATS and complete multiple reviews of the manuscripts. Once approved, the CATs are published to the UND Scholarly Commons. The Scholarship of Application, Practice & Engagement are all met and because the articles are open access, practitioners can readily use them to inform their practice. As of October, 2023, the CATs have been downloaded more than 15,000 times in more than 30 countries. Website: https://commons.und.edu/cat-papers/
