NSAID trials and the choice of comparators - Questions of public health importance

Article Abstract:

Large clinical trials would, under ideal conditions, be designed to satisfy the marketing needs of the pharmaceutical manufacturers that sponsor them and, simultaneously, answer important clinical questions that affect public health. However, in practice, alternative choices in trial design often favor any one of these aims, as is evident in the case of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), where the question of greatest interest in active-comparator trials involves the incidence of adverse events.

The silent epidemic - The health effects of illiteracy

Article Abstract:

Research on health literacy results suggest that more than a third of English speaking patients and more than a half of mostly Spanish-speaking patients at U.S. public hospitals have low health literacy. It is believed that people with low literacy are more likely to report having poor health, and are more likely to have diabetes and heart failure, than those with adequate literacy.
