In all aspects of the book, the theme that emerges involves the ethical issues to be considered when undertaking clinical research.

In the section entitled The Basics, the authors provide background information as well as the history of clinical research. They present the regulatory issues that apply to clinical research and tie it back to historical happenings. As is often the case, abuse led to regulations.

Preparing the Protocol focuses on the research subject. These chapters stress the importance of evaluating the risk and benefits of the study as well as the selection of the subject. To illustrate their points, the authors tie in excellent examples. Certainly for the novice clinical researcher this section is a must-read. As a clinical laboratory scientist, Preparing the Protocol was interesting but did not present information applicable to our role in clinical research as it exists today. However, with the potential broadening of the field to encompass clinical research, this section could provide pertinent background information.

The section on Procedures, Methods, Statistics, Data Management, and Record Keeping fills fewer than 30 pages. Ethically, clinical research can not follow experimental research format. A mixture of qualitative and quantitative research methods are discussed, with a heavier emphasis on the qualitative. The…
