Praise from ASPEN’s Publication Review Committee:

This comprehensive text contains understandable descriptions of research designs, basic statistical principles, and ethical considerations. It provides adequate coverage of qualitative and quantitative research, survey development, and conducting database searches for scientific literature. The authors also delve into developing abstracts, posters, and manuscripts for publication, grant-writing for nutrition research, and developing evidence-based practice guidelines. A great resource to support Research Methods lectures and courses offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level.
