Please answer the following PICO question (75-100 words). Cited per APA (7th ed) and comment on the post in general. I attached the rubric. Please use references only from the last 5 years.
PICO question related to mental health:
(P) In adolescents diagnosed with depression (I) does cognitive behavioral therapy (C) compared to pharmacological treatment (O) lead to greater improvement in depressive symptoms?
Type of Question: According to Gallagher Ford and Melnyk (2019), PICO questions aim to identify the terms to search for the best evidence to answer a clinical question. PICO questions are used as a search strategy (Gallagher Ford & Melnyk, 2019). PICO questions allow for unbiased and effective searches for the questions posed (Gallagher Ford & Melnyk, 2019).
Sources for Best Evidence: CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PsychINFO would be the best sources for my PICO question. CINAHL and MEDLINE examine healthcare issues across different disciplines (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2019). PsychINFO examines psychological, behavioral, and health sciences (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2019).
Levels of Evidence: According to Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt (2019), levels of evidence rank evidence by the type of design or research methodology that would answer the question with the fewest errors. Level I evidence is generated from systematic reviews or meta-analyses of all RCTs or evidence-based clinical practice guidelines and is the most substantial level of evidence to guide clinical practice (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2019)
