PLOS BLOGS Speaking of Medicine and Health

This week in PLoS Medicine: Comparative effectiveness research; and more!

Read the new papers published in PLoS Medicine this week, including the April Editorial in which the PLoS Medicine Editors join with editors from other medical journals to lay out principles and standards for comparative effectiveness research (CER) and a Research Article that examines the distribution of obesity, diabetes, and other cardiovascular risk factors among urban migrant factory workers in India, together with their rural siblings.

Also published this week, is a Policy Forum – from PLoS Medicine’s series on Global Health Diplomacy – that provides a case study of China’s growing engagement in global health diplomacy following the SARS epidemic.
