"DeAngelis and her co-authors have set out to providei the fundamentals of clinical research in a nutshell...It is difficult to present information on a very dry and abstract subject in a readable and comprehensible form to the beginner, but the authors have succeeded remarkably well. They
take the reader through the questions that need to be asked before embarking on the research, selection of subjects, study design, data collection, and analysis and also take the time to disicuss the pragmatics of funding, ethical considerations, and critical review of published scientific
work...this book can definitely be recommended as an introduction to clinical research." --The Lancet

"A well-organized and easily read text that introduces the reader to a wide array of clinical research topics. This text should be read by respiratory therapists interested in conducting a clinical research study before they begin collecting data. The advice presented by the authors should
help clinicians do the planning necessary to produce a successful investigation of some of the unanswered questions confronting respiratory care practitioners. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in helping a novice researcher conduct a clinical study." --Respiratory Care
