RESEARCH · EVIDENCE HUB

Understand what the evidence does and does not show.

You should be able to check a claim before relying on it. Start with the source, distinguish research from interpretation, and look for what has actually been evaluated.

This page is for anyone who wants to understand the work, including learners, supporters, practitioners and researchers. Reading does not require a personal questionnaire.

FOUR DISTINCT QUESTIONS

What kind of evidence am I looking at?

Underlying research
Does an established study support a relevant concept? Check its methods, population and findings. A connection to a concept does not validate the whole AURIS approach.
AURIS interpretation or proposed model
How has AURIS used that concept? A published position paper sets out an argument. Publication and a DOI do not by themselves establish peer review or effectiveness.
Emerging qualitative observations
What have participants described? Interview themes can provide depth and generate questions. They do not establish population prevalence or prove cause.
Evaluation of an AURIS course or tool
Has this particular offer been independently tested for the outcome claimed? A relevant theory, positive account or course listing is not a substitute for that evaluation.

COURSE SOURCES AND LIMITATIONS

Check the basis of a course before you choose it.

These pages bring together recorded sources, AURIS interpretation and limitations alongside each published course. Inclusion here does not mean the course has been independently validated. Course availability and access are stated on its own page.
