Doctors taking bribes from pharmaceutical companies is common and not substantially reduced by an educational intervention: a pragmatic randomised controlled trial in Pakistan by Afifah Rahman-Shepherd, Johanna Hanefeld, Mishal Khan, Charles Opondo, Sameen Siddiqi, Virginia Wiseman, Iqbal Azam, Wafa Aftab, Sadia Shakoor, Amna Rehana Siddiqui, Rumina Hasan, Zafar Mirza, Muhammad Naveed Noor, Sabeen Sharif Khan, Nina van der Mark, Afshan Khurshid Isani, Ahson Q Siddiqi, Faisal Ziauddin, Faiza Bhutto, Natasha Ali, Robyna Irshad Khan, Syed Ahmed Raza Kazmi, Zainab Hasan

“…After adjusting for doctors’ age, sex and clinic district, there was no evidence of the intervention’s impact on the primary outcome (OR 0.70 [95% CI 0.40 to 1.20], p=0.192).Conclusions This first study to covertly assess deal-making between doctors and pharmaceutical company representatives demonstrated that the practice is strikingly widespread in the study setting and suggested that substantial reductions are unlikely to be achieved by educational interventions alone. Our novel method provides an opportunity to generate evidence on deal-making between doctors and pharmaceutical companies elsewhere.…”
