Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 4 EBP 0466 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Commercial Influence
Captions available
The idea
Appraisal asks whether there were biased commercial influences in a study's design, its presentation, or its dissemination.
In practice
A trial funded by the maker of the intervention it tested.
Where people slip
Funding is not disqualifying and is not irrelevant. It is a question to ask of the design, the reporting and the publicity separately.
