@ZachWritesStuff Roger Chou works for OSHU and contracts to do the systematic reviews on opioids for AHRQ. He’s worked closely with PROP since they formed in 2011. He was also one of the 3 authors of the 2016 gl, as well as a part of the board of sci. councilors for cdc that approve the gls 🤦🏻♀️
@ZachWritesStuff So he chooses which studies are considered in to go into the GLs, writes them, and then also gets to approve them. I uncovered the fact that the Oregon AG has been funneling opioid litigation money into not only OSHU (and this was in 2015) but also into Oregon’s ORCrm state grp.
@ZachWritesStuff Chou was an integral part of Oregon’s response to the opioid epidemic thru OHSU and his work with the ORcrm. It’s just disgusting how this has gone unchecked until today.
@ZachWritesStuff The only thing he did today was recuse himself from the board of scientific councilors. He DID conduct the 2016 AND 2021 systematic opioid reviews that factored into these new guidelines AND he was one of the 5 authors of the new GL.
@ZachWritesStuff Chou is employed by BOTH of these institutions, both of which receive the money when there’s opioid litigation in Oregon! The first one is 2015 and the second, 2021. doj.state.or.us/media-home/new…
