Observational Studies
Die Amgen GmbH hat den Behörden folgende Anwendungsbeobachtungen (AWB) gemeldet. Bei AWBs erhalten Ärzte Geld dafür, dass sie beobachten, wie gut ein Patient ein bestimmtes Präparat verträgt. Viele Wissenschaftler halten AWBs aber für ein Marketinginstrument, weil sie methodisch in der Regel zu schlecht sind, um daraus medizinische Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen.
Background
Independent journalism needs independent funding
Others can write stories. We want to reveal. We are the first investigative newsroom in Germany, which is independent, ad-free, and non-profit.
For us, the core of journalism means uncovering injustice and shortcomings in society. That’s why we investigate corruption in the health system, politicians abusing their power, and an elite that believes that rules are for the others.
To do our job, we need people, who support us. We ask you, too, to become a member and enable the work of 16 investigative journalists at CORRECTIV.
We are convinced that without independent and critical media, democracy fought for and won by our ancestors, cannot survive for long.
