About this title

Synopsis

Ideal for clinical students including medical, nursing, pharmacy, dental, physician assistant and more!
Evidence-based information plays a critical role in clinical practice decisions. Secondary sources are often unreliable; it’s up to the student, then, to critically assess peer-reviewed research literature. Using a highly structured yet accessible method, this best-selling text teaches students to critically analyze research from primary sources.
Step-by-step approach– learn to recognize a meaningful study, clues to potential study flaws, and ways to apply solid evidence in clinical practice
Simple 6-point framework– learn to evaluate studies in terms of the author’s trademark mnemonic device, M.A.A.R.I.E. (Methods, Assignment, Assessment, Results, Interpretation and Extrapolation)
Unique Learning Aids - question checklists, real-world scenarios, flaw-catching exercises and more help to make complex concepts easy to grasp
New!

New chapters cover safety, prediction and decision rules, and translating research into practice
“Learn More” boxes illustrate key concepts
Clinically oriented “Mini-Studies” demonstrate what can go wrong and how to get it right
