Description

By the time you've read this book, you'll be ready to design your own research project

Not everyone in clinical research is a scientific investigator. In fact, a large proportion of health professionals undertaking a research project are working in clinical care, as junior doctors, nurses or allied health professionals. For them a book that begins with the basics of study design and takes them through all the stages to data collection, analysis, and submission for publication is vital. Getting Started in Health Research is the answer. It provides fundamental information on:

  • Framing the research question
  • Performing the literature search
  • Choosing the study design
  • Collecting data
  • Getting funding
  • Recruiting participants
  • Writing your paper

Lively case studies provide a continuous narrative, addressing the pitfalls and problems that can occur.

Calling upon their vast experience of teaching health research methodology, these authors have turned a seemingly daunting task into a challenging and enjoyable prospect.

Journal of the American Medical Association, December 26, 2006

"What strikes the reader ... straight away is clarity ... promises to become a recommended text for undergraduate and postgraduate courses."

Reviews
"The purpose is to provide basic information for conducting a research project. This is a worthwhile objective, since many healthcare professionals who may not have a background in research have questions that need answers ... This will be a good guide as a starting point for conducting research." (Doody's, 20 January 2012)

"This is a well-intentioned introduction to health research." (British Journal of Cardiology, 2011)

"This book will appeal to students in all branches of the health profession and is warmly recommended." (Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 2011)

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
