PICO(TT) is a tool used to describe elements of a good clinical foreground question. PICO helps you:

1. clearly identify the problem, interventions, and measurable outcomes related to your patient
2. determine which keywords to use in your database search
3. formulate a searchable clinical foreground question

Once you determine your PICO elements, identify what type of question you have.

Once you identify your type of question, enter your PICO elements into the appropriate template in order to properly phrase your clinical question.
