Judy Stone's "Conducting Clinical Research: A Practical Guide for Physicians, Nurses, Study Coordinators, and Investigators" should be required reading for anyone interested in the nuts and bolts of clinical trials research, from physicians and other investigators to data managers and analysts and last, but not least, both medical students and students of epidemiology and biostatistics who intend upon embarking in careers in clinical trials research. Dr. Stone does an impressive job covering the philosophical, legal and research-oriented aspects of clinical trials research, without making this job seem too dry or inaccessible for the novice researcher - for which this book is primarily intended - as well as those with extensive familiarity with clinical trials research. I, for one, wish I had this book years ago when I was working as a data manager for a clinical trials study conducted by researchers from Columbia University's Departments of Medicine and Epidemiology. But now I have a copy - which was graciously provided to me by the author for the purpose of writing this review - and it will be an important reference that I shall use when I am again working as a data manager for a clinical trials research study; it is a reference I am certain that others interested in clinical trials research shall find most useful too.
Stone begins her book with an extensive introduction to clinical trials research, explaining why and how it is done, and describes how to choose a suitable site (or sites) for a potential clinical trial. Next she devotes several chapters to covering the legal and other regulatory issues related to clinical trials research, which, I might add, is done with ample doses of humor.
