"First, there was the 2006 Inaugural Congress on Disease Mongering in Australia which marked a watershed in networking among health care reformers and drug industry critics. Then, the 2010 Selling Sickness conference in Amsterdam expanded the network and updated the work. Now, Selling Sickness 2013: People before Profits is coming to Washington, DC in February, 2013 to continue the challenge and the international networking.
This conference will bring together academic medical reformers, consumer activists, and health journalists to examine the current scope of disease mongering and to develop strategies and coalitions for change. Topics will include misleading marketing, journalistic standards, over-treatment, over-diagnosis, whistleblowers, new roles for advocates, pharmacovigilance, clinical trials, activist narratives, new conflict of interest areas, evidence-based screening, igniting citizen outrage, and more. We will have panels, workshops, a unique Good News Exhibit Hall, and BOOKTIVISM training. Students and young activists are welcome!"
Call for Papers closes October 1. Early-Bird Registration now available.
