Present interpretation of the stressor landscape is technically a methodological decision made by the authors; thereby other interpretational possibilities cannot be ruled out.
Our findings bear on the methodological decisions made in research that relies on auditory coding, drawing particular attention to the challenge of designing a method sensitive to patterns of variability and social meaning that are potentially both universal and community-specific.
Using the Overview Quality Assessment Questionnaire, most of 117 systematic reviews in the field of pediatric oncology were found to have serious methodological flaws undermining evidence-based decision making [ 8].
To our knowledge, ours is the first study that examines this approach in the context of shared decision making from a methodological point of view.
This methodological decision was made for a practical reason based on the extra administrative work that pharmacists would have to do, which would have drastically decreased the number of pharmacists enrolled in the study.
The multiple linkages and complex nature of health services influences the methodological approach to researching rural health service provision and decision making.
This information reveals how methodological decision-making influences the results and helps to promote replication.
Furthermore, conducting research with informal caregivers of individuals receiving palliative care is challenging and requires careful ethical and methodological decision-making.
All stages of methodological decision-making, from design to analysis were considered in relation to quality guidelines for qualitative research, which meet the RATS (qualitative research review) guidelines focusing on relevance, appropriateness, transparency and soundness of the interpretive approach [ 21].
This MACS rule was derived in accordance with established methodological guidance 14 and provides a bespoke tool to aid clinical decision making specifically in the undifferentiated ED population.
Such methodological investigation is, in itself, important because this will guide other researchers in their decision making.
