After building a foundation of basic principles, the authors lead readers through specific methods for handling the risks characteristically encountered in clinical trials. They discuss concepts using worked examples and include a summary of the main points at the end of each chapter. In addition to diagrams and Risk and Precision Tree charts, the text is sprinkled with humorous line drawings that reinforce the concepts.
