ICON: A New Practice-Based Research Network with a Focus on Wellness

The Integrated Chiropractic Outcomes Network (ICON) is a new PBRN just initiating its first project. ICON is an interinstitutional collaboration combining the expertise of experienced investigators who have conducted a number of practice-based research studies in other venues. ICON is intended to be an “engine” that can drive projects that require a real-world ambulatory care setting in order to answer a specific research question. ICON’s mission is to conduct collaborative research through a partnership between researchers and practitioners with the ultimate goal of enhancing the health of the public and contributing to the scientific evidence base related to health promotion and disease prevention.
