Morgan, George A. (George Arthur),
Mahwah, N.J. : Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2006.
Clinically oriented professionals and students need to understand and evaluate the research and statistics in professional articles, especially given today's emphasis on evidence-based practice. This book demonstrates how the research approach and design help determine the appropriate statistical analysis. Understanding and Evaluating Research in Applied and Clinical Settings features:*short, independent, chapters that do not have to be read in order;*a guide to understanding why a particular statistic was selected;*an emphasis on effects sizes including measures of risk po
