Coping strategies in psychiatric clinical research

Abstract

Suggests that classical and elementary approaches to design and analysis of research frequently are based on expectations of the behavior of Ss and of measures of response that are unrealistic in the context of psychiatric clinical research. A broad range of strategies in sampling, measurement, design, execution, implementation, and analysis are examined, and specific strategies are suggested that tend to be successful in the real world of psychiatric clinical research.
