  13. Background Questions • Generally ask who, what, why, where or how about a single concept

  14. Foreground Questions • Usually compare two or more concepts – drugs, treatments, tests, harms or benefits of two approaches

  15. Proposed Research Projects • Evaluate the accuracy of the Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer compared to the MP-1 in patients with glaucoma • Assess efficacy of anti-fatigue lenses in relieving eye strain and computer vision syndrome

  16. Answers to Foreground Questions • Require precise information about complex issues • Sources should provide current, original clinical research data • Evidence-based resources – top of the 4S Hierarchy
