No Answer From Journal, AMA
Yesterday, I wrote of an apparent undisclosed conflict of interest in a paper where a researcher had asserted that 3-year-old kids experience chronic depression–”preschool depression” so called–but the same researcher had received monies from AstraZeneca and possibly others with the last five years. The paper appeared in the Archives of General Psychiatry last month which requires disclosure of all pharma payouts and the like within the past five years.
I emailed both the journal’s editor and the press office of the American Medical Association to ask what they would do to look into the non-disclosure and if they would issue a correction in the journal. I got no reply.
