xxiii, 330 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm. "Principles and Application of Evidence-Based Public Health Practice helps clinicians who conduct population-based studies in the community be aware of the principles and ethics involved in public health research. Further, the book helps social scientists involved in public health, especially regarding the medical implication of public health practice. Community-based epidemiological research studies are vital for any public health activities, be it evaluation of health programs, health systems strengthening, surveillance or preventive/promotive trials in the community. While hospital/clinic-based research is conducted in a very controlled setting, community trials are more practical.

The same has been reiterated in the ethical guidelines for biomedical research on human subjects released by various national research organizations"-- Publisher's description. Section I.
