Popis: | Purpose Evaluate whether a 15-minute lecture intervention will improve adverse drug reaction reporting quality on standard MedWatch forms. Methods Seventy-eight 4th-year medical students were randomized to intervention ‘Group-A’ or non-intervention ‘Group-B’ on the first day of a required five-day clinical pharmacology rotation. Group-A participants attended a 15-minute lecture on completing a MedWatch form with quality information considered by the Food and Drug Administration as critical to adequate adverse drug reaction reporting. Group-B participants did not attend this lecture. Both groups then watched a standardized patient interview of a recognizable adverse drug reaction and completed MedWatch forms. Four Safety Evaluators from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rated student responses in a blinded fashion for the primary efficacy variable of Overall Impression and six informational domins using a standardized data quality analysis form that was developed within the Office of Postmarketing Drug Risk Assessment of the FDA. Results Seventy-eight MedWatch forms were evaluated (Group-A=40, Group-B = 38). Overall MedWatch information quality scores for the intervention group were significantly higher than the non-intervention group (p |
