About this book
This new volume in the Toolkit series is designed for clinicians and junior researchers
who need to interpret the evidence for the effectiveness of the many diagnostic tests
now available. Exceptionally user-friendly, this pocket-sized textbook realizes readers
are not experts in diagnostic test interpretation. The authors cover a variety of
issues, from how to design diagnostic test studies to understanding the results of
diagnostic tests and interpreting the findings for clinical practice and health care
policy.
