Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The author examines direct to consumer advertising of prescription medicines. It is illegal in all industrialised countries except New Zealand and the United States. In Australia, Canada and Europe, the international industry is lobbying very hard for national laws to be changed. There is also an increasing volume of advertising that skirts the limits of the law. There is a need to improve access to unbiased information about all treatment options as well as ensuring that adequate regulation exists to prevent thinly disguised prescription drug advertising aimed at the public.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
