The relationship between environment, efficacy beliefs, and academic achievement of low-income African American children in special education.

Interventions have aimed to improve children's environmental resources and efficacy.

Knowledge of undisclosed corporate authorship ("ghostwriting") reduces the perceived credibility of antidepressant research: a randomized vignette study with experienced nurses.

Findings: We conducted a randomized vignette study with experienced nurses (n = 67), using a fictional study of antidepressant medication.
