Description

Interview with Dr. Brandace Winquist, research consultant with the Saskatchewan Health Quality Council, a maternal-perinatal health researcher, and a collaborator with the Canadian Network for Observational Drug Effect Studies. In a research article she co-authored, Dr. Winquist and her colleagues found that the isotretinoin/accutane pregnancy prevention program in Canada was relatively ineffective over a 15-year period in which nearly 60 000 women in 4 provinces received prescriptions for the drug. Risks of maternal isotretinoin therapy to the developing fetus are well recognized.Full research article: https://www.cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/cmaj.151243To request a transcript of this podcast, contact cmajgroup@cmaj.caSubscribe to CMAJ Podcasts on Apple Podcasts or your favourite podcast app. You can also follow us directly on our SoundCloud page or you can visit www.cmaj.ca/page/multimedia/podcasts.
