Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"As evidence and the way it is organized and consumed continue to evolve, regular updates are needed. This fourth edition includes current information about how to find evidence as well as thoughts on placing value on different types of research for clinical practice. It is a reference for practicing clinicians as well as a comprehensive introduction to evidence-based practice for future clinicians."

Audience

The audience includes current and future clinicians. The cases at the beginning of each chapter are practical examples of evidence-based practice. For current clinicians, the book is a sound reference and easier to read than some other books on the subject.
