Description
Highly engaging and visually attractive, this clear and lively introduction to research is designed to help readers gain confidence and
initiate small practice-based research projects. Providing a foundation in understanding research, it includes valuable information on
how to get started, how to formulate useful and answerable research questions, a range of methodologies set in terms of their usefulness
and limitations, strategies for seeing a project through completion, and writing up the results. Pitfalls and pointers are also highlighted
along the way.

Students of healthcare professions, especially allied health (e.g. OT) and complementary therapy professions. Of interest also to first and second year medical and nursing (and midwifery) students.
