How to Read a Paper: The Basics of Evidence-Based Medicine (EvidenceBased Medicine)

"This is the second time I have bought this book. I lent it to a friend and never got it back. I have found it invaluable for my MSc and my friend found it a great help for her BSc (obviously!). I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to be able to critically appraise medical literature."

"How to appraise a scientific study can be very difficult. This book helps to undertand the basics of appraising papers in a way that helps to answer some of the questions on the MRCGP exam.

Also it will provide insight into what is really important and what need to go in the bin.

The differences between quantitative and qualitative research are very interesting and the book is illustrated with examples.

Is not easy to read ( hence only 4 stars ) nut is certanly one of the most accessible and readable guides."
