Designing Randomised Trials in Health, Education and the Social Sciences Avis

'David and Carole Torgerson have written an important book about an important topic...After introducing the breathtaking simplicity and beauty of the randomized trial design [they] outline the key features of well-designed, well-conducted and well-analysed randomised trials, using illustrative examples from health care, education, criminal justice and other fields. The book is a veritable treasure trove of information and advice' - Sir Iain Chalmers, Editor, James Lind Library (http://www.jameslindlibrary.org/)
