註釋Abstract: An approach to reading and understanding research articles appearing in medical journals is provided for clinicians and based on the principles and concepts of epidemiology. This approach has been successfully used with family medicine medical school residents. The curriculum of this guide falls under 3 principal themes: study design, making measurements, and interpretation. The study design chapters consider descriptive and explanatory studies, and 3 different design approaches (case-control; cross-sectional and follow-up; experimental). Interpretation chapters consider the varied aspects of: data distributions, averages, and the norm; statistical significance; sensitivity, specificity, and predictive capability; assessing risk; and identifying causes.
