Example

You have been asked to undertake an action research paper on an issue you have noted in your workplace. 

In the past year you have noticed a rising reluctance amongst older patients to taking multiple medications, and an increased interest in alternative or complementary therapies for treating the symptoms of depression.  Patients in your clinic have seen items in the media promoting the use of exercise as an alternative treatment path and have been asking about the efficacy of this.

You are not sure of the quality of the evidence backing up these media reports and decide to undertake an evidence search.
