AOTA’S EVIDENCE EXCHAGE CRITICALLY APPRAISED PAPER (CAP) WORKSHEET General Instructions: Please insert your responses in the boxes provided. Refer to the CAP Guidelines for submission criteria and detailed instructions on how to fill out each section of the worksheet. CITATION AND DOI NUMBER (APA Format) CLINICAL BOTTOM LINE Briefly discuss how the evidence can be used to inform and guide occupational therapy practice (i.e., within the scope of traditional or emerging practice) AND how practitioners can use the evidence relative to the target population and practice setting. Implications need to be reported in consideration of the strength of the evidence (i.e., type of study design, level of evidence, identified study limitations, internal validity rating, to what population results may generalize). Character count limit: 1300 RESEARCH OBJECTIVE(S), DESIGN TYPE, AND LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Character count limit: 350 PARTICIPANT SELECTION How were participants recruited and selected to participate? What were the inclusion and exclusion criteria? Character limit: 600 INTERVENTION(S) AND CONTROL GROUPS List each group (i.e., Group 1, Group 2, etc.). Include brief description of the intervention. How many participants in the group? Where did the intervention take place? Who delivered? How often? For how long? Character count limit: 1500 OUTCOME MEASURES List only measures used in the study that are relevant to occupational therapy. Include the outcome measured. Is the measure reliable? Is the measure valid? When is the measure used? Character count limit: 600
