Von der hinteren Coverseite

'A 'practical guide' that is much more than a reliable tool for conducting high quality Health Services Research, this book takes the academic, the student and the professional on a meaningful "journey" from formulating a research question all the way to analysis and delivery. This will deservedly occupy a visible place on the researcher's desk rather than the shelf. The Chapter 'Budget and Funding' is a gem!' - Dr Yannis Pappas, Head of PhD School, Institute for Health Research, University of Bedfordshire
