Optimum health care based on sound scientific evidence demands the use of the best research methods available.

Health Services Research Methods is based on the most wide ranging review ever conducted. Commissioned by the British National Health Service Health Technology Assessment Programme, leading experts have compiled systematic reviews of all the available scientific evidence in major research areas including:

• Non-randomised studies


• Outcome measurement


• Randomized trials


• Statistical methods


• Area level analysis


• Economic evaluation


• Qualitative methods


• Synthesising evidence.

The chapters based on these reviews are a distillation of the most up to date information that everyone involved in health services research should have. Each one provides practical recommendations, and the research evidence is illustrated by case studies. Health care researchers from those in primary care to those in specialized fields will find this a highly readable and practical guide to the approaches they should be taking.
