"The 7th edition of this text has been updated with stronger coverage and emphasis on evidence-based practice. There is an addition of a new chapter on how to read, interpret, and critique systematic reviews, which are considered by many to be a cornerstone of EBP. There is also new material relating to medical research methodology. This edition offers a more balanced presentation of medical and social science"
