This book should be considered a resource for novice researchers, specifically those emerging from a clinical background, as they transition either role or interest. The transition from a consumer of research to a contributor of research requires a shift in paradigm that is not necessarily intuitive. The goal of this book is to provide a basic overview of what one needs to know about both research and statistical methods through a phasic approach which includes planning, doing, and writing.
