Decrease in temperatures leads to an increase in falls. What is being claimed? (Identify the variables/factors Do they exhibit a positive or negative relationship?) How good is the evidence? (Are two relevant groups being compared? Is the difference between the groups large enough (i.e., outside the margin of error of both samples) so that it is unlikely that these differences are the result of chance sampling variation? Were the groups being compared appropriately selected?) What other information is relevant? (What is the context? Have other researchers found similar correlations? Of similar strength? Did other researchers use different types of samples and groups?) Are relevant fallacies avoided? (e.g., consider the fallacies of No comparison, Biased Sampling, Small Sample, Unclear Target Population, and of Significance).
