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

Changes for the 4^th edition
The fourth edition will include two new chapters on important developments in health care research and delivery, but otherwise retains its original style, size, and scope.

• New chapter on quality improvement – describing papers on quality improvement projects using ebm methods;  this will extend the readership to non clinical health care professionals working in hospitals and family practice, and to nurse specialists and practice nurses working in this field
• New chapter on complex interventions - how to set up research projects involving both qualitative and quantitative methodology (known as mixed methods)
• Thorough revision and updating of existing chapters and references
• New illustrations – diagrammatic representations of ebm concepts
