Critical Appraisal Guidelines: Data Collection
When critically appraising the data collection process, consider the following questions:

2.Were the data collected in a consistent way?
3.Were the study controls maintained as indicated by the design? Did the design include
an intervention that was consistently implemented?
4.Was the integrity of the study protected, and how were any problems resolved?
5.Did the researchers obtain data from an existing database? If so, did the data
obtained address the study problem and objectives, questions, or hypotheses? Were
the reliability and validity of the database addressed in the research report?
