Learn to assess published research in this best-selling introduction to evidence-based healthcare

Evidence-based practices have revolutionized medical care. Clinical and scientific papers have something to offer practitioners at every level of the profession, from students to established clinicians in medicine, nursing and allied professions. Novices are often intimidated by the idea of reading and appraising the research literature. How to Read a Paper demystifies this process with a thorough, engaging introduction to how clinical research papers are constructed and how to evaluate them. Now fully updated to incorporate new areas of research, readers of the seventh edition of How to Read a Paper will also find:

A careful balance between the principles of evidence-based healthcare and clinical practice New chapters covering consensus methods, mechanistic evidence, big data and artificial intelligence Detailed coverage of subjects like assessing methodological quality, systemic reviews and meta-analyses, qualitative research, and more.

How to Read a Paper is ideal for all healthcare students and professionals seeking an accessible introduction to evidence-based healthcare – particularly those sitting undergraduate and postgraduate exams and preparing for interviews.
