Tuller D. Once again, the PACE authors respond to concerns with empty answers. Journal of Health Psychology. 2017;22(9):1118-1122. doi:10.1177/1359105317703788
Abstract
In their response to Geraghty, the PACE investigators state that they have “repeatedly addressed” the various methodological concerns raised about the trial.
While this is true, these responses have repeatedly failed to provide satisfactory explanations for the trial’s very serious flaws.
This commentary examines how the current response once again demonstrates the ways in which the investigators avoid acknowledging the obvious problems with PACE and offer non-answers instead—arguments that fall apart quickly under scrutiny.
