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.
541 - Can you please advise if CADTH Common Drug Review publications can be used as evidence for efficacy, pharmacoeconomic or recommendation claims?
-
No. These reviews have important uses (e.g. explaining recommendations for funding decisions) but they are not designed or intended to support product claims in drug advertising. Please refer to the PAAB Tips document Marketing Benefit Claims http://www.paab.ca/Marketing_Benefit_Claims_-_June_22.pdf for the evidentiary requirements relating to common types of claims.
