Engaging patients in blood systems
Stigma, Scarcity and the Price of Legitimacy
This study examines how chronic pain advocates in Canada navigated fraught relationships with pharmaceutical companies amid escalating concerns about the adverse public health impacts of opioids. Drawing on 22 qualitative interviews with professional chronic pain advocates, it examines how advocates navigated their complex relationships with pharmaceutical companies amid structural constraints and limited institutional support. Findings reveal th…
The association between drug shortages and prices across 74 countries
BACKGROUND: Drug shortages are a global concern that poses risks to clinical care and health systems. Lower prices and market pressures are often cited as drivers of drug shortages; thus, a commonly proposed policy lever is to increase drug prices. However, global evidence to evaluate the association between shortages and prices is lacking. This research aims to fill the gap by examining the global markets of drug shortages. METHOD: We included 2…

Framing coalitions and the Canadian overdose crisis
The overdose crisis remains one of the most pressing public health emergencies in North America, with the marketing of prescription opioids identified as a key contributor to its escalation. Notwithstanding, the role of prescription opioids in the current overdose crisis, as well as the extent to which marketing and education can be distinguished, remains highly debated. Using qualitative framing analysis of four separate consultations obtained t…
Chaos, miracle, and coping
The plasma-derived medical products in highest demand is immunoglobulin (Ig). • This study is a narrative analysis of Ig recipients in Canada. • Patients with immunodeficiencies and polyneuropathies struggle to receive a diagnosis. • Patients' experiences of this treatment are situated within their social lives. • Ig can have a meaningful impact on the lives of people with these illnesses
Quantifying Industry Spending on Promotional Events Using Open Payments Data
These findings indicate that an event-centric analysis of Open Payments data is a valid method to understand the scope and quantify spending by pharmaceutical and medical device companies on industry-sponsored promotional events attended by prescribers. Expanding and enforcing the reporting requirements to cover all payments to all registered health professionals would improve the accuracy of estimates of the true extent of all sponsored events a…
Shared health governance, mutual collective accountability, and transparency in Covax
Background: To facilitate global COVID-19 vaccine equity, the World Health Organization, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations, and the United Nations Children's Fund supported the COVID-19 Vaccine Global Access (COVAX) partnership. COVAX's goals may have best been pursued through shared health governance - a theory of global health governance based on six premises, in which global…
Disclosure, transparency, and accountability
BACKGROUND: Weak governance over public sector pharmaceutical policy and practice limits access to essential medicines, inflates pharmaceutical prices, and wastes scarce health system resources. Pharmaceutical systems are technically complex and involve extensive interactions between the private and public sectors. For members of public sector pharmaceutical committees, relationships with the private sector can result in conflicts of interest, wh…

The Influence of Industry Sponsorship on the Research Agenda
Background. Corporate interests have the potential to influence public debate and policymaking by influencing the research agenda, namely the initial step in conducting research, in which the purpose of the study is defined and the questions are framed. Objectives. We conducted a scoping review to identify and synthesize studies that explored the influence of industry sponsorship on research agendas across different fields. Search Methods. We sea…

Whether something cool is good enough
It’s Not a Priority When We’re in Combat”
Tobacco use is prevalent among service members, but civilian public health groups have not effectively addressed military tobacco control policy issues. We conducted focus groups in 2010 and 2012 with participants from public health and tobacco control organizations regarding their understanding of the military and of tobacco use in that context. Misperceptions were common. Military personnel were believed to be young, from marginalized populatio…
Throwing a rock at their armored tank”
A strong public health voice on military tobacco control might serve to begin problematizing the tobacco industry's influence in the military policy arena. As the military moves to institute stronger tobacco control policy, public health and tobacco control professionals should work to engage with and aid its efforts from the outside. Only with such civilian side support can the goal of a tobacco free military be realized
