A Concise Guide to Observational Studies in Healthcare by Allan Hackshaw

A Concise Guide to Observational Studies in Healthcare provides busy healthcare professionals with an easy-to-read introduction and overview to conducting, analysing and assessing observational studies. It is a suitable introduction for anyone without prior knowledge of study design, analysis or conduct as the important concepts are presented throughout the text. It provides an overview to the features of design, analyses and conduct of observational studies, without using mathematical formulae, or complex statistics or terminology and is a useful guide for researchers conducting their own studies, those who participate in studies co-ordinated by others, or who read or review a published report of an observational study. Examples are based on clinical features of people, biomarkers, lifestyle habits and environmental exposures, and evaluating quality of care.

A Concise Guide to Observational Studies in Healthcare is a solid introduction to observational studiesClinical trials are the gold standard, but with the price of gold what it is, observational studies are a legitimate and affordable way to answer many questions.
