Method/Research design:
Was the most rigorous possible design used, given the purpose of the research?
Were appropriate comparisons made to enhance interpretability of the findings?
Was the number of data collection points appropriate?
Did the design minimize biases and threats to the internal, construct, and external validity of the study (e.g., was blinding used, was attrition minimized?)
Population and sample:
Was the population identified and described? Was the sample described in sufficient detail?
Was the best possible sampling design used to enhance the sample�s representativeness? Were sample biases minimized?
Was the sample size adequate? Was a power analysis used to estimate sample size needs?
Data collection and measurement:
Were key variables operationalized using the best possible method (e.g., interviews, observations, and so on?)
Are the specific instruments adequately described and were they good choices, given the study purpose and study population?
Does the report provide evidence that the data collection methods yielded data that were high on reliability and validity?
Procedures:
If there was an intervention, is it adequately described, and was it properly implemented? Did most participants allocated to the intervention group actually receive it? Was there evidence of intervention fidelity?
Were data collected in a manner that minimized bias? Was the staff who collected data appropriately trained?
Results/data analysis:
Were appropriate statistical methods used?
Was the most powerful analytic method used? (e.g., did the analysis control for confounding variables?)
Were Type I and Type II errors avoided or minimized?
Findings:
Was information about statistical significance presented?
Was information about effect size and precision of estimates (confidence intervals) presented?
