Trust, transparency, and accountability in health and pharmaceutical systems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Trust is essential for the effectiveness of public health and pharmaceutical systems, ensuring the availability of safe, effective, and affordable medicines globally. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the critical role of public trust, showing how its erosion can undermine health efforts, leading to increased vaccine hesitancy and the adoption of ineffective or unsafe remedies. Trust enables collective action, crucial for public health measures, and public support for policies improving medicine access depends on trust in pharmaceutical companies’ commitment to fair and affordable pricing. This thematic collection of the Journal of Pharmaceutical Health Services Research explores the importance of transparency and accountability in pharmaceutical systems. Addressing corruption risks and conflicts of interest is vital to ending health inequalities and ensuring the legitimacy and epistemic authority of health systems. This thematic collection aims to advance the dialogue on the necessity of transparent and accountable health and pharmaceutical systems that are trustworthy and to deepen our understanding of potential trust cleavages within these systems.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
