EXAMPLE PICOT
PICOT Question
P	Population	Adult patients with hypertension, Spanish primary language
I	Intervention	Written education in Spanish
C	Comparison	Teaching using an interpreter
O	Outcome	Improved BP control
T	Timeframe	6 months
PICOT	In adult patients with hypertension, for whom Spanish is their primary language (P), does providing written education in Spanish (I) when compared to using an interpreter (C) lead to improved blood pressure control (O) over the course of 6 months (T)?
Problem Statement The problem statement is a scholarly statement that justifies or rationalizes that this is problem. A problem statement must include literature for support and justification.	Hispanics are more likely to have uncontrolled, untreated, or even undiagnosed hypertension when compared to other ethnic groups (Rodriguez et.al., 2015). Incidences of misinformation can occur when patients and providers do not share a common language. There is a lack of understanding or the inability to ask questions on the patient’s part. In addition, many Spanish-speaking patients find that the translation services, when available, are not adequate. These patients often do not trust the information received from providers, which can lead to unintentional noncompliance (Rodriguez et.al., 2015
