About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"In this introductory textbook, examples are carefully chosen to help readers understand important concepts in epidemiology and biostatistics, as well as their application to the field of clinical research. … the book will be useful to any healthcare practitioner interested in having a better understanding of clinical research. … This book has the important quality of providing students with an introductory overview that not only helps them understand the methods, but also guides those interested in learning more in the right direction." (Daniela Claudia Moga, Doody’s Review Service, November, 2009)
“This concise introductory textbook was ‘born from a disparate collection of written materials that were created to teach epidemiology and biostatistics to second-year medical students.’ … to provide medical students with a basic instruction to clinical epidemiology and biostatistics … . suitable for … students with no previous background in clinical epidemiology or biostatistics and for practitioners who want concise introduction to facilitate interpretation of the medical literature. … serve as the course text for a medical student introduction to clinical research methods.” (Douglas J. Lanska, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 303 (18), 2010)Authors and Affiliations
