Addressing conflicts of interest in public health and biomedicine: enhancing professional integrity and safeguarding the public’s health

卫生研究人员、临床医生和政策制定者由于与私营企业的关系而产生“利益冲突”是很常见的。人们普遍认为，利益冲突有时会扭曲研究、政策制定和实践，但对于如何概念化、评估或管理利益冲突，还没有达成共识。在这个项目中，我们将探讨利益冲突的原因和影响，并设计一个复杂的框架来管理它们。

It is common for health researchers, clinicians and policymakers to have "conflicts of interest" due, for example, to relationships with private industry. It is widely accepted that conflicts of interest can at times distort research, policymaking and practice, but there is no consensus as to how they should be conceptualised, assessed or managed In this project we will explore the causes and impacts of conflict of interest, and devise a sophisticated framework for managing them.
