- Summary
- "This practical and fun-to-read book gives beginning students and seasoned researchers the inside track on today's best methods for clinical-practice and health care research. Emphasizing the principles behind the procedures and using "real life" examples from their own research, the authors take you behind the scenes to show you how research is really done. You'll find "how-to" approaches for exposing the pitfalls, pratfalls, and highpoints of designing, funding, completing, and publishing good research." "From finding answers to questions concerning the prevention, treatment, diagnosis, prognosis, cause, and burden of health care problems and the effect of innovations in health services ... to designing, executing, analyzing, reporting, and systematically reviewing sound research ... to career advice about time-management - you'll learn what to do and how to do it!"--BOOK JACKET.
