Reviews

Although Research Methods for Pharmaceutical Practice and Policy was designed to be an introductory textbook for graduate students in the social and administrative sciences in pharmacy, this book will be useful to other groups, including faculty and researchers in this area, and professional program students who desire to learn more about this type of research. The book is scholarly in tone and exceptionally well referenced. The book is easy to read and makes extensive use of research that has been conducted in this field. David P. Zgarrick - ScienceDirect, 2011 The editor has assembled a book that will take the reader through the steps of research from the conception of the research question through possible journals for submission...Individuals who are interested in teaching or performing research in the area of pharmacy practice and policy should consider obtaining this book as a resource for their library. Dean L. Arneson, PharmD, PhD, American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education Vol 75 (5), 2011
