Content

Become a successful evidence-based practitioner!

How do you evaluate the evidence? Is the information accurate, relevant and meaningful for clinical decision making? Did the design fit the research questions and was the analysis and interpretation of data appropriate?

Here are all the materials you need to take your first steps as evidence-based practitioners…how to use the design, data and analysis of research as the foundation for effective clinical decision making. You’ll find support every step of the way as you progress from the foundations of clinical research and concepts of measurement through the processes of designing studies and analyzing data to writing their own research proposal.

    Conceptual descriptions of analytic procedures used in EBP as well as tables that demonstrate simple calculations
    Algorithm for choosing a statistical procedure based on a study’s design
    Diagrams that help students understand experimental and observational design variations
    Guidelines for critical appraisal of various types of studies
    Focus on sensitivity/specificity and likelihood ratios, number needed to treat, and measuring clinically meaningful change
    Special features that illustrate how research applies to practice, including, “Case-in Point,” “Fun Facts,” “Historical Notes,” and end-of-chapter ‘take-away’ commentaries from the author
