Quality criteria: A: Is the research question(s) or hypothesis clearly stated? B: Is the subject group appropriate for the study being carried out (number, characteristics, selection, and homogeneity)? C: Are the methods used (qualitative or quantitative) reliable and valid for the research question and context? D: Have subjects dropped out? Is the attrition rate less than 50%? For questionnaire-based studies, is the response rate acceptable (60% or above)? E: Have multiple factors/variables been removed or accounted for where possible? F: Are the statistical or other methods of results analysis used appropriate? G: Is it clear that the data justify the conclusions drawn? H: Could the study be repeated by other researchers? I: Does the study look forward in time (prospective) rather than backward (retrospective)? J: Were all relevant ethical issues addressed? K: Were results supported by data from more than one source? +: Criterion met, −: Criterion not met, u: Unsure.
