The expanded third edition is not a true improvement on the second edition. This text was written for an NIH course on clinical research, so the average reader will find many of the chapters either too specific or too narrowly focused on NIH policies. The overall content is strong, but you may be better served by purchasing a used copy of the second edition at a much lower price.
This was a required book for one of my classes. But it is an excellent source of facts & tips. I still have yet to read much of the book, but I will definately be keeping this one as a reference for many years.
I read an assortment of the chapters for a course I took. The chapters are written by experts in the field and are very comprehensive, although most of the chapters are by their nature covering dry subject matter that probably could not be made interesting. I have no complaint about the general quality of the text.There are two things that I feel a prospective buyer of this book should know.First, it is absolutely an "establishment" perspective on clinical research; the chapters on the FDA are written by FDA officials; most other authors are employed by the NIH. There's nothing wrong with a book having such a perspective but the readers should be aware of it and recognize that the text does not question the place of such institutions at the center of the research establishment, and repeatedly drives home the reality that any clinical researcher in the USA will have to adapt to their demands.Second, and more serious for international readers, this text is absolutely centered on clinical research IN THE USA. Again, there is nothing wrong with a textbook for US researchers having this perspective, especially given the importance of the US role in clinical research, but the US focus is so completely pervasive that I think in future editions the title of the textbook should be changed to reflect its narrow geographical focus so to avoid misleading readers.
Very good for research, was shocked at how large it was. Had too much information, but at the end of the day there is so much in-depth knowledge if you can take the extra time to read
Ok. Who wants an honest review? This book is great for beginning statistics knowledge. I wish the examples wrote out the math on how they solved them, but they don't. Also, about a month into owning and reading this guy, which I probably open it twice or thrice per week, the damn spine and front cover has come loose off the book.... Give me a break. So, if you're new to statistics, especially coming from the medical realm, which 99% are, and you can put up with a book that may fall apart on you sooner than you would make your way through 10% of First Aid, then this buy is for you. Otherwise, google, wiki, or even your friendly statistician would be a better go to. Or hell, maybe you can go with an electronic book. However, I like to write stuff in mine and highlight, and $100 is too much money for my student salary to reconcile buying this guy. I should also note, that I take fairly good care of all my books because I keep all of them in case I need to reference something later; so I wouldn't say I mishandled it.
Comprehensive, easy to assume and very helpful. Contains most of Clinical Research questions and answers. Well written and pleasure to read.
