As Associate Editor of the Journal of Managed Care Pharmacy, Kathleen Fairman developed a well-deserved reputation for both demanding excellence in the articles she accepted for publication and for helping authors develop and produce research reports that were excellent. This book reflects that reputation by clearly stating the case for excellence in research and providing a wealth of information and advice about how to produce quality research. The book provides practical advice about planning, conducting, reporting, and publishing health services research. It addresses standard research topics such as research design, statistical analysis, and literature evaluation. In addition, it addresses important, but frequently neglected, topics such as documenting research to improve accuracy, improving research efficiency, practical considerations in using advanced statistical analysis, and making good use of reviewers' comments. Fairman makes the content more engaging by the liberal use of interesting and relevant examples. For example, she begins the chapter on documentation systems by telling the story of "wildly popular 1985 research results on the economic effects of divorce that were actually the result of data processing errors made by a graduate student." This book would be useful to anyone involved in health services research and it would be would be especially useful to new researchers.
