| Abstract | As General Practitioners we need to hnow enough about research to be able to read the medical literature ztsith discernment. We further need. to do our ozt)n research if we wish the best for our patients and discipline. We need to make up our own minds about the literature and what is optimal for our patients as %e are the only people zlho see our kind of patients. The practice profiles oni poprlations of other disciplines often Dary greatly from ours. Research is born out of excitement about, or some challeTtge, or difficulty we face. It can only flourish if we go on to use our 'imaginaiion ii a disciplined way. There is a wide range of research strategies, from those of the controlled experiment hrough to that of the participant observer. Very few general practitioners lack ideas to be researciled but we can all benefit from extensiae hetp from epidemiologiits and methodologists before zte actually embark on a study. |
