Student/Doctor Misbehavior

Paper Summary:

This paper analyzes the report of research findings in a newsletter presentation of a study in NE Journal of Medicine regarding student/doctor misbehavior. The analysis here shows that the report of findings is a bad example of advocacy journalism and makes a poor presentation of the research and even, ironically its own position as supported in that research. In an effort to address the quality of research reporting, this brief paper considers the structure and content of the report found in Healthfacts, in relation to how well it represented the research findings. A brief summary of Healthfacts' presentation of research findings, statistical representations, and analysis and discussion are offered to determine the accuracy of the report.

From the Paper:

The Healthfacts report summarizes findings of the research that was originally published in the New England Journal of Medicine, as well as the comments found in an accompanying editorial in that journal."
