Abstract
In a retrospective cohort study, the effects of participation in a company-sponsored clinical trial on asthma drug prescribing were investigated. Ten trial-conducting practices were compared with 165 control practices. Conducting the trial did not influence guideline adherence measured as the prevalence of inhaled corticosteroid use among users of inhaled β 2 -agonists. However, participation in the trial led to an increased preference for sponsor's drugs.
