FULL TEXT
Martin J. Bass, Earl V. Dunn, Peter G. Norton, Moira Stewart, and Fred Tudiver; eds. 266 pages. Newbury Park, California: Sage Publications; 1993. $19.95.
Opening this book, one is prompted to ask, “Is this book really necessary?” To answer this question, one must first determine the purpose of the book, its significance, and whether it has achieved its goals.
The stated purpose of the book is “to deal with practical issues in conducting research in practice settings.” In this case, practice settings refers to primary care, that is, the real world, so this book should have wide appeal.
Most research is done in tertiary care settings, the patients of which represent less than 1% of all patients. In addition, practice-based research is driven by questions, not methods, and those questions arise in the practice setting rather than in the tertiary care hospital.
