Here are some highlights about articles. First, there are in vitro studies which are studies that happen in test tubes or petri dishes. These can often be misinterpreted in the press. A 2016 article that analyzed press releases from lab studies found that 21% of press releases exaggerated claims. Imagine how those claims can be inflated on the internet. Next, are In Vivo studies which happen on living organisms. Animal studies are the first step to seeing if something might work in humans. They are often talked about in the media but often as information spreads on the internet the fact that it is animal study disappears, and it is referred to as a study. This leads people to think this must be great. However, only 5% of animal studies ever end up leading to therapies people can use. Healthcare providers don’t base decisions on animal studies.

·         In Vitro – happens in a lab using test tubs or petri dishes – Think test tube babies!

·         In Vivo – happens in living organisms

Every drug commercial talks about “in a clinical trial”.  A good clinical trial has someone get a placebo which is a fake drug like a pill that might have vitamin c or be sugar or they get the standard of care which is what people currently get when diagnosed with a disease and others get a new possible drug/cure. For it to be a good clinical trial the researchers and the people in the study shouldn’t know if they are getting a placebo or the possible new drug/cure.  Finally, and this goes back to blinding, researchers don’t get to choose who gets the placebo or the possible new drug/cure.

o   Good Clinical Trials

-       have some people get a placebo or the standard of care and others get a possible new drug/cure

-       are blinded (researchers and patients don’t know if who is getting the possible new drug/cure or placebo)

-       are randomized (researchers don’t choose who gets the placebo new drug/cure)
