Welcome to the Critical Appraisal Topic (CAT) page. Here you will find templates to use in the appraising step of EBP. These templates will assist you in keeping your thoughts and information organized as you read the scientific articles. The term critical appraisal form is synonymous with critical review form. The forms are a slightly different format. Notice the links with an asterisk are guidelines for filling out the quantitative and qualitative review forms.
