AB With  the  increasing  emphasis  on  evidence-based  practices,  there  is  a  greater  need  for  pharmacists  to  understand  clinical  research,  evaluate  scientific  findings,  and  translate  evidence  to  support  patient-care  decisions.  This  requires  a  comprehensive  understanding  of  the  principles  and  practice  of  drug  literature  evaluation  with  a  strong  grounding  in  research  design  and  statistical  methods.  Most  available  texts  emphasize  statistical  approaches  and/or  scientific  literature  evaluation  techniques.  Although  there  may  be  comprehensive  books  in  other  health  professions,  it  is  challenging  to  find  a  pharmacy  textbook  that  covers  all  critical  research  design  and  evaluation  elements  to  translate  evidence  into  practice.  We  decided  to  edit  this  book  to  provide  a  balanced  approach  to  the  principles  of  clinical  research  and  statistics  for  evaluating  pharmacy  literature  to  implement  evidence-based  pharmacotherapy.
