Studying A Study and Testing a Test: Reading Evidence-based Health Research PDF

...health professionals...back in college, I took multiple semesters of statistics, advanced statistics, and experimental design, and I'm willing to bet that I can find significant flaws in the design and analysis of in upwards to 75% of the studies I read in medical and medically related scientific journals...I'm often astounded at some of the errors and I'm amazed when little discussion arises in consequence...Dr. Riegelman's book does a nice job of instructing how to read scientific papers and what kinds of flaws deserve attention...and although it should be mandatory study for health care professionals, it's also recommended for anyone concerned about the quality of research done in within the health related community...

I had a hard time following this book and the examples were not helpful at all. I would not have purchased this book if it were not mandatory for class.
