The first text that covers this cutting-edge topic for the communication disorders field, this book introduces SLPs to the principles and process of evidence-based practice, thoroughly covering its three primary components: \"external\" evidence from systematic research, \"internal\" evidence from clinical practice, and evidence concerning patient preferences. SLPs will get the in-depth guidance they need to construct the right questions about best evidence\n\nfind the reliable information they need to answer these questions\n\nevaluate the validity of both internal and external evidence\n\nweigh the importance of empirical evidence, whether from a research study or from an individual patient\n\nhelp patients fully understand clinical options and express their preferences\n\nconduct systematic, critical appraisals of treatment evidence, diagnosis and screening evidence, and evidence from systematic reviews or meta-analyses\nDeveloped by Christine A. Dollaghan, one of the most highly respected researchers in the field of language acquisition and disorders, this text makes complex concepts understandable with its clear, reader-friendly language, vivid step-by-step examples of key processes, and illuminating figures and tables.\nSLPs will come away with a solid, practical understanding of evidence-based practice—knowledge they'll use throughout their careers to make sound clinical decisions about the screening, diagnosis, and treatment of communication disorders.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1557668701\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1557668701.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dollaghan Ph.D., Christine A.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
