Abstract
Clinical investigators and members of interdisciplinary research teams will be interested in some strategies characteristically used by epidemiologists and biostatisticians. Such research is best conducted in close alliance with clinicians if the questions are about patient care. Clinicians formally trained in epidemiologic methods will have spent several years mastering the theoretical basis for this research and acquiring experience in field work which is often as challenging as the theory.
