On april 3rd 2024, this article received an expression of concern for "potential non-compliance with Elsevier’s publishing ethics policies regarding the appropriate conduct of research involving human participants"
This article has been highlighted by researchers Frank et al. in a publication in Research Integrity and Peer Review for the following reason: the article shares its ethics approval number (09-022) with another set of 248 studies. These studies all seem to be about different populations, in different countries, and with different samples taken from people as shown in the article's Figure 1 appended below.
It should also be noted that the findings by Frank et al. have been highlighted by Science in an article by Cathleen O’Grady.
