Includes bibliographical references and index.

The research base for palliative care must improve as it continues to develop in evidence-based health care systems, and to provide the needs of patients and families. This book focuses on the needs of palliative care, and is aimed at improving current research and stimulating new research in the field. Chapters on clinical trials, survey research, epidemiological and qualitative research methods are followed by chapters on how to write up the research, which will be useful for other academic disciplines too.
