Docs Have Ties to Drug Industry

Many Study Review Board Docs Have Ties to Drug Industry
Published: 11/29/06
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 29 (HealthDay News) --
More than a third of doctors who sit on the review boards that oversee the integrity of clinical trials have financial ties with companies whose drugs are being tested in those trials.
That's the finding of a new study in the Nov. 30 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. The researchers also found that the vast majority of review board members surveyed -- 85.5 percent -- believed that industry ties do not affect members' decisions in any inappropriate way.

A blogosphere challenge initiated by Brian and Carol. Here's how it works: Send an email to brian@bravehumans.com with the subject: Yop! In the body of the email list the name of your weblog, and the URL. Your weblog will be added to this Website Blogs Joined So Far: 253 Blogs Left to Go: 29,747 Tell your friends who blog about it, and urge them to send in their weblog as well. When the list reaches 30,000, a date and a word will be listed on the page. On that date, every weblog on the list agrees to make a single post with the word as the title. The content of the post should be about what you want for the world, whatever that may be. The purpose is not to make a particular political statement, but simply to make a noise. If 30,000 weblogs all post the same unusual word, it WILL be heard. Have you ever wanted to shout to the world? Here's your chance.
