speechBITE Information

speechBITE is a database of intervention studies across the scope of speech pathology practice. The database provides ready access to citations and, where possible, abstracts from systematic reviews, randomised controlled trials, non-randomised controlled trials, single-case experimental designs and case series. speechBITE also indexes clinical practice guidelines of relevance to speech pathology practice. To assist clinicians with interpreting the methodological quality of the treatment studies, speechBITE provides ratings on the PEDro-P scale for randomised and non-randomised controlled trials. Launched in 2008, speechBITE is an evidence-based practice initiative between The University of Sydney and Speech Pathology Australia, established in order to help speech pathologists gain faster access to relevant research that can be used in clinical decision-making.
