Misrepresenting the characteristics of research participants in psychiatric studies
What is this about?
In studies of anorexia, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Alexander Neumeister misrepresented the characteristics of his research subjects. Not only did he combine data from multiple research participants to construct fake participants, he instructed his staff to change, omit, or ignore clinical and psychiatric assessment data contained in electronic and/or written research records.[1] This is a factual case.
Why is this important?
This case highlights many different ways in which clinical data and patient records can be manipulated to generate fake results.
