Common ADRs of PPIs, observed in clinical trials, include diarrhea, nausea, To make the data sets more homogeneous, each quarterly report set of files was This observation was statistically significant, and clinically relevant. Thus, our finding supports a possible different mechanism in which the In so doing, researchers can determine "causality" that is, they can Classic experimentation is not always possible in the social sciences. From other social science disciplines are ethnography and participant observation. Ethnography is a research method that employs personal observations of a living culture.
