Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I received the book in a perfect condition.

⭐The book examines the various aspects of clinical epidemiology. It is a good book for medical practicioners. It takes some effort to transcribe many of the concepts in the book to concepts used in standard epidemiology. All in all it is a good book if one is willing to spend the time.

⭐Conceptual and practical guide on clinical epidemiology and clinical research, one of the best book currently on this field.The authors clearly define areas of clinical research in Part 2, giving readers more and clearer understanding of areas the clinical research should be and consists of. They are not as narrowly defined by most other clinical research books.Clinical epidemiology is the foundation of clinical research. Based on methods and tools of epidemiology, the book provides full range of study designs for various areas of clinical research in Part 3.Similar to case studies in business courses, work-out examples at the end of chapter provide practical thinking and understanding of how to approach and carry out research with careful consideration from start to finish.

⭐Very practical and clinical relevant.
