Quality Assessment of Clinical Practice Guidelines Developed by Professional Societies in Turkey.
PloS one, 2016Co-Authors: İlknur Yasar, Rabia Kahveci, Aylin Baydar Artantaş, Duygu Ayhan Başer, Fatma Gökşin Cihan, İrfan Şencan, Esra Meltem Koç, Adem ÖzkaraAbstract:Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate healthcare for specific clinical circumstances. There is a limited number of studies on guidelines in Turkey. The quality of Ministry of Health guidelines have formerly been assessed whereas there is no information on the other guidelines developed in the country. This study aims to assess the quality of CPGs that are developed by Professional Societies that work for the health sector in Turkey, and compare the findings with international guidelines. Professional Societies that work for the health sector were determined by using the data obtained from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined for selecting the CPGs. Guidelines containing recommendations about disease management to the doctors, accessible online, developed within the past 5 years, citing references for recommendations, about the diseases over 1% prevalence according to the "Statistical Yearbook of Turkey 2012" were included in the study. The quality of CPGs were assessed with the AGREE II instrument, which is an internationally recognized tool for this purpose. Four independent reviewers, who did not participate in the development of the selected guidelines and were trained in CPG appraisal, used the AGREE instrument for assessment of the selected guidelines. 47 Professional Societies were defined which provided access to CPGs in their websites; 3 of them were only open to members so these could not be reached. 8 CPGs from 7 Societies were selected from a total of 401 CPGs from 44 Societies. The mean scores of the domains of the guidelines which were assessed by the AGREE II tool were; 64%, stakeholder involvement: 37.9%, rigour of development: 35.3%, clarity and presentation: 77.9%, applicability: 49.0% and editorial independence: 46.0%. This is the first study in Turkey regarding quality appraisal of guidelines developed by the local Professional Societies. It adds to the limited amount of information in the literature that comes from Turkey as well as other developing countries.

Scientific integrity resource guide: Efforts by federal agencies, foundations, nonprofit organizations, Professional Societies, and academia in the United States.
Critical reviews in food science and nutrition, 2016Co-Authors: Alison Kretser, Delia Murphy, Johanna T. DwyerAbstract:Scientific integrity is at the forefront of the scientific research enterprise. This paper provides an overview of key existing efforts on scientific integrity by federal agencies, foundations, nonprofit organizations, Professional Societies, and academia from 1989 to April 2016. It serves as a resource for the scientific community on scientific integrity work and helps to identify areas in which more action is needed. Overall, there is tremendous activity in this area and there are clear linkages among the efforts of the five sectors. All the same, scientific integrity needs to remain visible in the scientific community and evolve along with new research paradigms. High priority in instilling these values falls upon all stakeholders.

Cooperative relationships between Professional Societies and the food industry: opportunities or problems?
Nutrition reviews, 2009Co-Authors: Debra S. Tobin, Johanna T. Dwyer, Joan Dye GussowAbstract:A variety of cooperative relationships may potentially exist between Professional or voluntary organizations and food companies: endorsements of food products, health messages, or educational and informational materials; certification of nutrient components of food products that meet a certain standard of a society; and acceptance of food advertising in society publications and the display of food products at society meetings. We queried the American Heart Association, the Society for Nutrition Education, the American Cancer Society, the American Diabetes Association, and the American Dietetic Association about past and present policies on these various relationships. Specific examples of cooperative relationships are discussed, weighing risks and benefits to the food company, the Professional or voluntary organization, and the public. Guidelines are suggested for Professional Societies in evaluating different cooperative relationships, with the public's health and nutritional well-being as the primary consideration.
