speechBITE – Answering the need for better access to evidence
free resource
Have you been looking for treatment research but don’t know where to start? Most speech pathologists (SPs) don’t have time to spend hours searching different databases to find published research. Evaluating the scientific quality of research can be another hurdle for clinicians who are looking for the best evidence to improve client outcomes. speechBITE is a searchable database providing access and appraisal of intervention research in SLP. There are over 5000 research articles which we have found for you by searching multiple online databases (eg Medline, PsycINFO). We
only list treatment research relevant to SPs and the database is updated monthly, so you can be sure you have access to the LATEST PRE-APPRAISED EVIDENCE. • Search for articles • Obtain ratings of methodological design • Learn how to critically appraise methods • Stay informed with regular updates • Connect with us @speechBITE or www.facebook.com/speechB
