You hear a news report about a new asthma treatment. What information is NOT something you would want to know before asking your doctor if this treatment was right for you? Was the drug tested in a randomized clinical trial? How many participants were in the trial? In what populations were the clinical trials conducted? Was there a statistically significant difference between the effect of the new drug and the treatment used in the control group? Is asthma a genetic disorder?
Because if you have asthma and you need/want to get the treatment then why does it really matter if it’s genetic or not. So, you don’t need to know that.
