PY - 2020 T2 - Principles of Research Design and Drug Literature Evaluation, 2e 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.
