Public Perceptions of Physician – Pharmaceutical Industry Interactions: A Systematic Review

摘要

Background:Interactions between physicians and the pharmaceutical industry have led to concerns about conflict of interest (COI), resulting in COI guidelines that suggest a threshold beyond which interactions may be considered unacceptable. Guidelines have also outlined the importance of public opinion on the topic. Consequently, we conducted a systematic review to determine the Canadian public's opinions of physician–pharmaceutical industry interactions.
