I respect Hiroko Tabuchi but once again, we have a NYT story on #COIs btw #academia and industry focused on the wrong points. Far too much time is spent on compliance w/ disclosure requirements, when disclosure FAILS as a remedy for #MotivatedBias.

More discussion is had on the notion that the sponsor has "no influence" on the work of the center at issue when we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is the depth of the relationship btw the sponsor and the center that leads to behavior of partiality.

I will never cease to be amazed at the willful ignorance that prevails in conversations about #COIs and #MotivatedBias. The #DecisionSciences lit is rich but is roundly ignored in almost all of the reporting on these subjects (incl. by the principals involved).

As anyone who works on #COIs and #MotivatedBias can tell you, this arrangement is ethically unacceptable from an #OccupationalHealth perspective. HCPs paid directly by the league are in NO conceivable sense "independent."

And giving team physicians the "ultimate say" is absolutely the last thing you would do if you truly understood COIs as exposures and #MotivatedBias as a population health harm. It is literally inconceivable that this arrangement continues apace.

Remember a week or so back when I talked about the deep connections between the #railroadindustry and contemporary public health policy? This is one of them. The RR industry pioneered the model of having company physicians care for injured workers.
