| Zusammenfassung: | The public is bombarded daily with reports about risk factors, many conflicting with each other, other accepted as "scientific truth" for awhile, then scientifically disproved, yet others questionable that later prove to be true. Physicians are faced with trying to make sense of those conflicting or questionable results in the scientific literature in order to guide their patients to the best possible decisions. The situation is not much easier for scientists who may waste years of their productive life, and considerable resources, basing their research efforts on what prove to be misleading earlier research findings. What this book does is to present, in non "academese" and with many examples from the general media and scientific journals, a guide to a critical reading of research reports, which, in turn, serves as a guide to researchers as to which approaches are likely to be regarded with raised eyebrows, and what they need to do to generate results that will be take seriously. This stimulating and helpful book was written for informed consumers and physicians as well as for scientists evaluating the risk research literature or contemplating projects on risk research. |

New York : Oxford University Press, 2005. 1 online resource (xviii, 270 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 255-264) and index. THE BASICS OF RISK -- Why did we write this book? -- What is risk? -- What is a risk factor? -- Are all risk factors equal? (Types of risk factors) -- How do we know if something is an important risk factor? (Statistical and clinical significance) -- How do risk factors work together? (Moderators, mediators, and other inter-actions) -- HOW TO RECOGNIZE GOOD AND BAD RESEARCH -- Who was in the study and why that matters (Sampling) -- What's the difference between a risk factor and a cause? (Research design) -- What else should we pay attention to? (Reliability and validity of measurements and diagnoses) -- CUTTING EDGE APPROACHES -- How strong is the risk factor? (Potency) -- How do we do moderator-mediator analysis? -- How do we use multiple risk factors? (ROC tree methods) -- WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? -- Where are we now? -- Making the best of good studies -- Hope for the future. Print version record. The public is bombarded daily with reports about risk factors, many conflicting with each other, other accepted as "scientific truth" for awhile, then scientifically disproved, yet others questionable that later prove to be true. Physicians are faced with trying to make sense of those conflicting or questionable results in the scientific literature in order to guide their patients to the best possible decisions. The situation is not much easier for scientists who may waste years of their productive life, and considerable resources, basing their research efforts on what prove to be misleading earlier research findings.
