The purpose of this site is to expose and discuss the impact of decision-making in pharmacology on everyday public health issues. Individual modules analyze the implications of certain novel drugs or treatments and suggest methods to remedy controversies while maintaining ethical concerns in the proper light.

All the material on this site has been researched by Duke University undergraduates in the context of a course, Pharmacology 150, and prepared for the public audiences.
