From the Foreword:

"This book was designed to provide and encourage practitionerâ€™s development and use of critical drug information evaluation skills through a deeper understanding of the foundational principles of study design and statistical methods. Because guidance on how a studyâ€™s limited findings should not be used is rare, practitioners must understand and evaluate for themselves the veracity and implications of the inherently limited primary literature findings they use as sources of drug information to make evidence-based decisions together with their patients.

The editors organized the book into three supporting sections to meet their pedagogical goals and address practitionersâ€™ needs in translating research into practice.

Thanks to the editors, authors, and content of this book, you can now be more prepared than ever before for translating research into practice."
