This is scary. I knew about #predatory #journals but had no idea about #pay to #publish firms. Really concerned about the #degradation of #ScientificIntegrity . Be careful what you believe and which journals you trust.

📣 Hot off the press - the 1st study of my dissertation! We found that parent mental health is significantly associated with the presence and severity of chronic pain in children, and thus needs to be addressed in prevention and treatment efforts

So true. In practice this is a fundamental. Our patients trust us when we trust them.

Please believe your patients about their #pain and #headache 👇🏼
