My two favorite books on the subject are Jerome Kassirer's "On the Take,"
and Carol Elliott's "White Coat Black Hat." You can also freely access my
favorite chapter in the treatise by Lo & Field, on commercial influences on
HCP education, at _http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK22945/_
(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK22945/)
Note that most of the scholarly writing on this topic goes to
*pharmaceutical and medical device* manufacturers. I maintain that there is also
plenty of conflict-of-interest to be found when IBCLCs are given financial
inducements from book publishers, stool makers, bra designers, pillow stuffers,
herbal tincture makers, phone app writers, etc.
~~~ First off, I was confused about makers of poop, I mean stool, but then
I realized you meant "nursing stools"...:) And I also highly recommend
White Coat, Black hat for the reasons mentioned. The Carnegie Mellon research
about full disclosure actually making thing worse was very sobering to
read. Thanks for the clarifications amidst the confusion, Liz.
Peace,
