Higher Education Most of the nations accredited medical schools
have adopted policies intended to prevent conflicts of interest in studies
involving human subjects, according to a report released by the Association
of American Medical Colleges. A survey conducted by the association between
May 2003 and February 2004 sought to determine whether accredited medical
schools had strengthened their conflict-of-interest policies in accordance
with guidelines issued by the association three years ago. Eighty-two percent
of the nations 125 accredited medical schools responded. Of those, 95
percent had such policies in place. Of the schools surveyed, 95 percent define a
significant financial interest that could cloud a researchers objectivity
as $10,000 the federal governments threshold or a lower amount. Among
the safeguards the schools have adopted: ·
Eight-five percent require that research be
monitored for potential conflicts. ·
Three quarters require researchers to notify
human subjects if the researchers have a significant financial interest in the
study. ·
About the same number have established standing
conflict-of-interest committees. The reports authors said they found areas in
which conflict policies need strengthening. Forty percent of the schools do
not require researchers to disclose significant financial interests when
orally presenting their research results. And 79 percent of the
conflict-of-interest committees dont include outside representatives. The full text of the medical-college
associations report, Financial
Conflicts of Interest in Clinical Research, is available on
the groups Web site. MESSAGE FROM OUR PROGRAM DIRECTOR
