Synopsis

This print textbook is available to rent for your classes. The Pearson print rental program provides students with affordable access to learning materials, so you go to class ready to succeed.

The 8th Edition of Evaluating Research in Communication Disorders has been updated and expanded to reflect the most recent trends in research and evidence-based practice while maintaining the vision and purpose of earlier editions. Using the structure of a research article as a guide, the text takes you from the Introduction to the Conclusions, providing abundant illustrative excerpts from the research literature along the way. After addressing the critical evaluation of each section of a research article, the text uses this information as the foundation for practical ways to employ evidence-based practice in routine clinical decision making and to translate research findings to practice, an indispensable core competency for any practicing clinician.
