Not everyone in clinical research is a scientific investigator. In fact, a large proportion of health professionals undertaking a research project are working in clinical care, as junior doctors, nurses or allied health professionals. For them a book that begins with the basics of study design and takes them through all the stages to data collection, analysis, and submission for publication is vital. Getting Started in Health Research is the answer. It provides fundamental information on:
- Framing the research question
- Performing the literature search
- Choosing the study design
- Collecting data
- Getting funding
- Recruiting participants
- Writing your paper
Lively case studies provide a continuous narrative, addressing the pitfalls and problems that can occur.
Calling upon their vast experience of teaching health research methodology, these authors have turned a seemingly daunting task into a challenging and enjoyable prospect.
