Diagnostic questions emphasize how to select a diagnostic test or interpret the results of a partic-ular test. Prevention questions are focused on how to modify a patient's risk factors to reduce the risk of disease. Harm/etiology questions focus on what the harmful effects of a particular treat-ment are or how harmful effects can be avoided.

PICO is an acronym used to describe a format of the four elements required to formulate a good clinical question (P, patient or problem; I, intervention; C, comparison intervention; O, outcomes).
