Evidence-based medicine is the scientific method to current data to improve healthcare decisions (Tenny and Varacallo 2022). As doctors, we need evidence that is robust, complete, up-to-date relevant, and applicable to the patient population on whom we are applying it.
As a team, we have been working on systematic reviews on child and adolescent mental health focusing on psychosis in children and adolescents.
