Paul Glasziou, W. Scott Richardson

Elsevier Churchill Livingstone, 2011 - Medical - 293 pages

Constitutes a traditional way of presenting ideas about EBM. It explains how to ask answerable clinical questions, translate them into effective searches for the best evidence, critically appraise that evidence for its validity and importance, integrate it with patients' values and preferences, assess the practice of EBM. Additional materials, including resources for practicing EBM can be downloaded to PDAs, contain clinical examples, critical appraisals and background papers from other healthcare disciplines such as nursing and occupational therapy with links to various evidence resources. A supporting website for this book also provides updates and new materials.

I've read and re-read this book - and I'm re-reading it again now. As far as EBM goes this title is tops.
