Overview

Evaluating Research in Communication Disorders is a current, comprehensive, carefully organized guide to analyzing research articles. It provides abundant illustrative excerpts from the research literature along the way. The text uses the structure of a research article as a guide. It then addresses the critical evaluation of each section of a research article. The author uses this information as the foundation for evidence-based practice in routine clinical decision making. It also translates research findings to practice, an indispensable core competency for any practicing clinician.

The 8th Edition has been updated and expanded to reflect the most recent trends in research and evidence-based practice. Using research articles as a guide, this edition maintains the vision of earlier editions.
