Descriptions of the detailed procedures and methods used in trials that have been conducted in the past have generally not been published. As a consequence, those planning such trials have few guidelines available and little access to previously accumulated knowledge. In this book the practical issues of trial design and conduct are discussed fully and in sufficient detail for the text to be used as a “toolbox” by field investigators. The toolbox has now been extensively tested through use of the first two editions and this third edition is a comprehensive revision, incorporating the many developments that have taken place with respect to trials since 1996 and involving more than 30 contributors. Most of the chapters have been extensively revised and 7 new chapters have been added UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/33127/1/569923.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/33127/1/569923.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/33127/1/569923.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/27342 ER -
