5.0 out of 5 stars Research design: A superb guide, May 17, 2000

By 

Hiking Doc (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Designing Clinical Research: An Epidemiologic Approach (Paperback)

This is one of the best books I have read on how to design a research project. It starts with key, but often neglected, issues such as how to choose a well-focussed research question and steps through all the elements of study design, data collection, quality assurance, and basic grant-writing.

A "must-have" that needs a second edition!

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS A MUST HAVE, July 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Designing Clinical Research: An Epidemiologic Approach (Paperback)

This is an amazing textbook that is a must have for all healthcare workers or anyone involved or wanting to be involved in clinical research. The test is organized and extremely well written. I use it to teach clinical research design to my students, residents, and fellows. Hats off to Hulley et al on a job well done. It was worth the 13 year wait for the 2nd edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars IT HAS A REFINED ANALYTICAL APPROACH, January 29, 2003

By 

reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Designing Clinical Research: An Epidemiologic Approach (Paperback)

"Designing Clinical Research: An Epidermiologic Approach" did a thorough analysis of various methodologies, which medical scientists could use in everyday research. It, first of all, outlined all the essential steps (used in epidemiological research), before delving into the analysis of each step. Its information is current and versatile. But, certain important issues like research-funding and statistics received less than expected attention. Despite this flaw, I would still recommend this book to scientists. Its pros did exceed its cons by a mile.
