"...a pivotal sexual assault trial has left some observers in Canada shocked but unsurprised – not only by a judge who seemed to scrutinize the female accuser more harshly than the five ice hockey players..missed opportunity for a reckoning in the macho culture of a major professional sport."

Canada’s hockey case raised questions about toxic culture – so why did the accuser end up on trial?

Judge seemed to scrutinize female accuser more harshly than the five hockey players who were charged with sexual assault but ultimately walked free

Are adaptive clinical trials a reflection of a shift in epistemology of quantitative research? From positivism to a relativist recognition of true variation in how individuals experience disease and respond to treatment?

In #medicine we follow this premise without naming it -
"Treat the patient, not the number."

The truth of disease and treatment depends on individual, and systemic context - the more we embrace that uncomfortable in-betweenness, the better we may be for patients ❤️

As we in the research community examine and interrogate systems of power and social context that influence all data, including quantitative, maybe it's time for quantitative appraisal to follow in these footsteps.

Subjectivity is inherent to any human endeavor, including RCTs

Came across this quote from Yardley in her 2000 paper on quality in qualitative health research that resonated with my journey in embracing QM
