Community Conference Watch©
Community Conference Watch© is a
user-friendly and easy-to-understand
newsletter that was created to assist our
readers in understanding what goes on at
scientific conferences and how information
presented at these conferences is used. We will
also try to increase understanding of the ins
and outs of clinical trial results by
incrementally introducing and defining basic
terms and ideas and by discussing more advanced
facets of trial design that may affect the
reliability of results. To achieve this end,
Community Conference
Watch©
editors select samples of clinical trial results
presented at recent, major HIV and hepatitis
science conferences to illustrate topics,
provide some discussion and TRIAL WATCH©
commentary for each. Examples of trials
contained in this premier issue are from the VII
International Congress on Drug Therapy in HIV
Infection from Glasgow, Scotland.
