Five Case Scenarios are used throughout the book and cover the broad areas of therapy/prevention, diagnosis, etiology/harm/causation, and prognosis. Each chapter has objectives, suggested activities, a quiz, critical thinking questions, and exercises.

Evidence based decision making, February 24, 2011

This is a horrible book. Instructors should not use this text for their classes. It is hard to follow and does not present information well. If it was in more simple straight forward terms than it would be alright.
