Great to see new attention to this study showing unintended consequences to #FDA's Unapproved Drugs Initiative - also a great example of how #HealthServicesResearch can contribute to policy change, since the UDI was terminated in 2020, citing this work: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-11-25/pdf/2020-26133.pdf #HealthPolicy #RxPolicy

🚨 #NewPaperAlert: we know industry payments to physicians are common, but what about the nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other advanced practice clinicians critical to patient care?

🔎 Over ⅓ of both physicians and APCs received industry payments
🔎 Physicians received more money overall, for more varied product types and reasons
🔎 Most common type of payment for food/beverage for all
