Evidence-Based Addiction Medicine for Practitioners: Evaluating & Using Research Evidence in Clinical Practice
Medical research is an imperfect science. Research in substance dependency (addiction) is no exception and, in fact, has its own limitations. Understanding those imperfections is essential for becoming a more critical reader of addiction research literature and a more discriminating consumer of scientific evidence.
This booklet describes some fundamental principles for evaluating and using research evidence in clinical practice. It provides knowledge to determine if a research article is relevant to clinical information needs and if the results are likely to be valid for a particular purpose.
Many of the concepts may be unfamiliar to readers and will require careful study. This booklet is best "digested" slowly and then used as a reference when evaluating research in addiction medicine.
