Worth watching 1964 Documentary on Surgeon General's Smoking Report that paved the way for anti-smoking initatives of the past few decades.
Sen Thurston Morton questioning the stats at about 50 minute mark has not aged well...

British Newspaper Archive is a wonderful resource. This 1954 article show how doctors were mainly using economic arguements to convince people to quit smoking.

Ahead of its time? @OHENews 1964 report highlights that "effect of sound nutrition upon physical and mental health is seldom considered. If it were, the health authorities would have to launch an allout attack on the food industry and on methods of production and processing..."

FT article highlighting the benefits of using a modified lottery to allocate research funding.
Lotteries also provide the opportunity to track the impact of research funding- see our protocol:

Interesting interlectual "genealogy" website mapping a family tree of knowledge via PhD students & their supervisors . It includes quite a few health economists. Academia is such a tangled web.

A great initative by @ABSStats, not only does it save researchers time, but it creates a standard citation so that statistics can be correctly attributed to the source data. Hopefully other statistical agencies will follow. @ONS

One for the statistical boffins: all data pages on the ABS website now have a "Cite" button. Here's what clicking it on the unemployment page brings up, for example. @ABSStats

The "No" is little like the man in the crowd from "Life of Brian"
You're all individuals!
Crowd: Yes! We're all individuals!
Brian: You're all different!
Crowd: Yes, we are all different!
Man in crowd: I'm not...
Crowd: Shhh!

Australian Parliament website contains a very good search able database - one of the first uses of the term "Medical Research" from 1922 (see below) is quite prophetic.

Australian doctors often prescribe less of a drug after its price declines.
As Gough Whitlam noted 55 years ago "In Australia there is insufficient price competition in the drug field... Almost all competition is in the promotion field and is directed at the doctor"

Unlike sociologist there is evidence that Cardiology meetings have a positive effect:
"High-risk patients with ... cardiac arrest hospitalized in teaching hospitals had lower 30-day mortality when admitted during dates of national cardiology meetings."
