Use the following grid to organize your thinking about the decision. Use your questions to study the evidence and identify criteria for making the decision. Write down the criteria, the case evidence relevant to them, and which decision option the evidence supports. Your goal is to determine the option that is most strongly supported by the evidence. You can defer thinking about action steps if you'd rather focus on the decision first.
