| Summary |
"This text will help readers comprehend how the process of clinical research relates to the scientific method of problem solving. Readers will understand the importance of three key, interrelated tasks involved in a research study: description (why it was done), explanation (what was done and to whom), and contextualization (how the results relate to other bodies of knowledge)." "This book not only distinguishes between the concepts of "statistical significance" and "clinical significance," often not clearly addressed in other texts, but it also emphasizes the value of scientific literacy in evidence-based practice."--Provided by publisher. |
