Reviews

Now more than ever we need healthcare practitioners as well as citizens who can critically and objectively appraise and engage with the research evidence. In the updated edition of this important text, Drs. Jakubec and Astle continue to make an important contribution to the field of research literacy in the health sciences by crafting an accessible resource that will aide students in their journey towards evidence-informed practice while at the same time equipping them with the enduring skills to become lifelong learners and informed citizens. -Robert Janke, Associate Chief Librarian, Research and Administration, University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus Library Jakubec and Astle have done a great job in crafting a clear and comprehensive undergraduate textbook that presents research literacy for health and allied professions. The linear and logical layout accompanied with uncomplicated writing makes research literacy understandable and accessible to our gerontology students. Despite being a researcher for the last two decades, my exposure to this textbook has transformed not just how I view and evaluate research, but also how I teach and communicate it. -Krishnan Venkataraman, Chair and Associate Professor, Gerontology Department, Huntington University
