New Book: Medical Research for Hire
More than 75 percent of U.S. drug trials are now being outsourced to non-academic physicians. A new book, Medical Research for Hire: The Political Economy of Pharmaceutical Clinical Trials, published by Rutgers University Press, looks at the effects and implications of the new economic climate surrounding medical research. Decreasing revenue for doctors and increasing costs for patients have combined to create this major change in the way medical research is performed.. Focusing on the professional roles of those involved, as well as key research practices, Fisher assesses the risks and advantages for physicians and patients in this new environment.
Dr. Fisher is Assistant Professor in the Center for Biomedical Ethics and Society at Vanderbilt University. Chapter titles include: Clinical Trials: Coming Soon to a Physician Near You, Purusing Contract Research and Monitoring the Clinical Trials Industry. The book is in our book collection; call number QV 736 F534m 2009.

This is a case-oriented approach to mental health ethics consisting of questions and answers that draw on 16 experts' personal experience in the care of people with mental illness, mental health research, and clinical training. Scenarios are presented that pose ethical issues: some narrow, to-the-point; and others that require a more nuanced approach.
