Providing accurate and complete drug information has increasingly become the role of the pharmacist, and this textbook takes the student through the steps necessary to develop true expertise. In addition to the use of standard reference sources, databases such as CINAHL and the Cochrane Library are briefly reviewed along with valuable Internet sites. But the bulk of the book features six steps for evaluating clinical studies, along with a chapter specifically devoted to equivalence and noninferiority tests. Edited by Abate and Blommel, both professors of clinical pharmacy at West Virginia University, each chapter begins with learning objectives and closes with self-assessment questions. Regular key points also appear as offsets. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
