Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion
The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.
Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:
- Correct any misunderstandings
- Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
- Support discussions where official clarification is needed
Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
59 - Is Brogan data an acceptable data source to show how long your patients are staying on therapy?

Without getting into specific data from individual companies, the PAAB Guidelines for the Review of Market Share Claims (see www.paab.ca) clearly state that market share claims must accurately reflect the findings of the source and the appropriate wording must be used. So, if the source shows "retention" data that is collected from prescription refills, it would be considered. However, the data presentation must not imply any clinical significance or benefits and be reflective of current medical practice (PAAB Code s3.2).
