This is an excellent book, which will be of value to all those
health professionals seeking to demystify the sometimes
intimidating area of research. Well organised, comprehensive, and
clearly written, it is indeed a 'handbook'; it has a clear, step by
step approach with many practical examples. It is suitable for
researchers across the range of health disciplines, and the authors
are to be congratulated for what will become an important
resource.Professor Frank Oberklaid, Director, Centre for Community
Child HealthUniversity of Melbourne/Royal Children's HospitalThis
book will clearly be a great help to young, and to some extent,
experienced research workers focusing on epidemiological and
clinical questions framed either in terms of the broad community or
patient groups. I recommend it warmly.Professor Stephen Leeder,
Dean, Faculty of Medicine, University of SydneyHigh quality
clinical research is a cornerstone of effective health care and
much good research is undertaken by clinicians. Yet many of the
resources available on research methods are highly theoretical and
inaccessible.Written in a user-friendly style by a team of
experienced clinical researchers, Health Science Research guides
readers through the fundamentals of clinical inquiry. It outlines
the steps needed to plan a study, recruit and select subjects,
gather and analyse data, and report on results. The authors also
explain how to deal ethically with interviewees, and how to prepare
a grant application.Health Science Research is an indispensable
guide for anyone who needs to undertake a clinical study, including
physicians, nurses, allied health workers, scientists and research
assistants.Jennifer Peat is Hospital Statistician in the Clinical
Epidemiology Unit at the New Children's Hospital, Westmead, and
Associate Professor in the Department of Paediatrics and Child
Health at the University of Sydney. Katrina Williams and Professor
Craig Mellis are from the same Hospital and Department, and Wei
Xuan is from the Department of Medicine, University of Sydney.
