Readers
comment about Foundations of Clinical Research: Applications
to Practice:
"This
book can hardly be recommended enough to both beginning and
advanced researchers. It provides an extraordinary breadth
and depth of information about research methodology, implementation
and statistical analysis. It is written in a clear straightforward
style that makes arcane topics understanble without oversimplification.
Congratulations to the authors on a difficult job well done!"
