EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE IN RESOLVING AND PREVENTING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The article is devoted to main problems of evidence-based medicine and its role in preventing and resolving conflicts of interest in various branches of medical and social practices. Research papers dealing with conflicts of interest have been analyzed. We point out main areas of medicine and other edological practices where conflicts of interest play a significant role in the rational organization of health care: research, medical and social education, the development of national clinical and social guidelines, edological practice as a whole. The policy of efficient conflicts of interest management in medicine and edology as a whole is only possible through broad dissemination of knowledge of clinical and social epidemiology and the evidence-based medicine principles at all levels of the edological community.
