Case Scenario:

Bonnin Studio

You are a research assistant at a firm that invests in pharmaceuticals. Your manager asks you to write a report about treating COVID-19 with remdesivir, an antiviral drug that your firm is considering for investment. She insists you use a high quality source of information and address these key points:
• the credibility of your source of information
• remdesivir's effectiveness in treating COVID-19
• how we know whether it is effective
To help your company estimate the drug's future pricing and choose whether to invest in it, your manager has also asked that your report include a few additional details:
• the amount of remdesivir given to patients (called a "dose" or "dosage")
• how long patients are treated with the drug (sometimes called the "course" of a drug)
And finally, since these factors can affect a drug's success on the market, she wants to make sure you also include the following:
• any negative side effects (sometimes called "adverse events") associated with the drug
• any potential problems or limitations in the source of information you choose

EXPLAIN THE CREDIBILITY OF YOUR SOURCE

1. Name the title of the study from the New England Journal of Medicine and give the reasons you found it to be credible. (Your response should be 4-5 sentences.)

Remember, if you use any information or ideas from the study, be sure to add a citation (and include quotation marks around any exact wording
2. Explain why the New England Journal of Medicine study is a relevant source for your report. In other words, what details does it have that are required for your report? (Your response should be 2-3 sentences.)

Remember, if you use any information or ideas from the study, be sure to add a citation (and include quotation marks around any exact wording).

3. Effectiveness

Summarize the findings of the NEJM study in your own words. Explain what the primary outcome was as well as the difference in mortality rate. (Your response should be 3-4 sentences.)

Remember, if you use any information or ideas from the study, be sure to add a citation (and include quotation marks around any exact wording).

4. Study Methodology

Using your own words, describe the design of the study and how it was conducted, making sure to include details about sample size and how patients were recruited. (Your response should be 4-6 sentences.)

Remember, if you use any information or ideas from the study, be sure to add a citation (and include quotation marks around any exact wording).

5. Adverse Events

Using your own words, explain the serious and nonserious adverse events encountered in the study. (Your response should be 3-4 sentences.)

Remember, if you use any information or ideas from the study, be sure to add a citation (and include quotation marks around any exact wording).

6. Study Limitations

Describe a limitation of the study using your own words. What happened in the data collection period that might have affected the results? (Your response should be 2-3 sentences.)

Remember, if you use any information or ideas from the study, be sure to add a citation (and include quotation marks around any exact wording).
