Item Attitudes and practices of public health academics towards research funding from for-profit organizations: Cross-sectional survey(Springer Link, 8/25/2020) Nakkash, Rima; Ali, Ahmed; Alaouie, Hala; Asmar, Khalil; Hirschhorn, Norbert; Mugharbil, Sanaa; Nuwayhid, Iman; London, Leslie; Saban, Amina; Rashid, Sabina Faiz; Ahmed, Md Koushik; Knai, Cecile; Bigland, Charlotte; Afifi, Rima A.Objectives: The growing trend of for-profit organization (FPO)-funded university research is concerning because resultant potential conflicts of interest might lead to biases in methods, results, and interpretation. For public health academic programmes, receiving funds from FPOs whose products have negative health implications may be particularly problematic. Methods A cross-sectional survey assessed attitudes and practices of public health academics towards accepting funding from FPOs. The sampling frame included universities in five world regions offering a graduate degree in public health; 166 academics responded. Descriptive, bivariate, and logistic regression analyses were conducted. Results Over half of respondents were in favour of accepting funding from FPOs; attitudes differed by world region and gender but not by rank, contract status, % salary offset required, primary identity, or exposure to an ethics course. In the last 5 years, almost 20% of respondents had received funding from a FPO. Sixty per cent of respondents agreed that there was potential for bias in seven aspects of the research process, when funds were from FPOs. Conclusions Globally, public health academics should increase dialogue around the potential harms of research and practice funded by FPOs.Item Cholera in pregnant women(1969-06) Hirschhorn, Norbert; Chowdhury, A.K.M.
