Doody's Review
"This is an update of a comprehensive book that defines quality nutrition research design and details nearly every step of the research process such as grant writing, study type selection, subject recruitment, developing hypotheses, nutrition assessment, and evaluation, nutrition outcome measures, etc. The previous edition was published in 2007."
