Investigator bias and the PACE trial by Steve Lubet in Journal of Health Psychology
http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1359105317697324
Abstract
The PACE investigators reject Geraghty’s suggestion that the cognitive behavior therapy/graded exercise therapy trial could have been better left to researchers with no stake in the theories under study. The potential sources and standards for determining researcher bias are considered, concluding that the PACE investigators “impartiality might reasonably be questioned.”
