The public is bombarded daily with reports about risk factors, many
conflicting with each other, others accepted as "scientific truth"
for awhile, then scientifically disproved, yet others questionable
that later prove to be true. Physicians are faced with trying to
make sense of those conflicting or questionable results in the
scientific literature in order to guide their patients to the best
possible decisions. The situation is not much easier for scientists
who may waste years of their productive life, and considerable
resources, basing their research efforts on what prove to be
misleading earlier research findings. What this book does is to
present, in non "academese" and with many examples from the general
media and scientific journals, a guide to a critical reading of
research reports, which, in turn, serves as a guide to researchers
as to which approaches are likely to be regarded with raised
eyebrows, and what they need to do to generate results that will be
taken seriously. This stimulating and helpful book was written for
informed consumers and physicians as well as for scientists
evaluating the risk research literature or contemplating projects
on risk research.
