Reviews

... a timely and critical addition to the literature. It covers many specific methodological challenges and issues in randomized clinical trials of nonpharmacological treatments, and presents examples of different clinical development stages in various clinical areas. The book offers a balanced mixture of technical and nontechnical aspects of nonpharmacological treatments. The book is easy for follow for a broad audience, including clinical trial practitioners, biostatisticians, and clinical and medical researchers. ... The text is nicely written and lucid ... While the intended audience for this book may be biostatisticians and clinical trial practitioners, I also recommend the book to interested clinical and medical researchers, and graduate students in relevant areas with relatively brief background in clinical trials. -Xin Gao, Journal of the American Statistical Association, September 2014, Vol. 109 ... there do not appear to be any books dedicated to randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs). As such, this book is very timely. Moreover, since the methodological and implementation issues in RCTs of NPIs are somewhat unique and often different from those of pharmacological treatments, this book is particularly welcome. ... a welcome addition to the literature in clinical trials methodology and highly recommended. -ISCB News, 57, June 2014
