  •   "A Step-by-Step Guide to Clinical Trials is helpful to anyone who wants information about the process of clinical trials, either as a researcher or a participant. The divisions of the book and its writing style make it easy to follow. Words that are included in the body of the work are bolded, and defined in the glossary. Throughout the book, Mulay provides examples of documents that are used in clinical trials. She also shares tips on how to make a clinical trial run efficiently. Reference lists are provided at the end of many chapters. A Step-by-Step Guide to Clinical Trials is recommended for nursing students, other health sciences majors, and practitioners. This book would be of use in academic and hospital libraries."
