More often, the comments are playfully, flexibly absurd.
In the Pew study, to be released shortly, researchers interviewed 2,253 adults late last summer and found that people ages 18 to 29 were more apt to monitor privacy settings than older adults are, and they more often delete comments or remove their names from photos so they cannot be identified.
In contrast, industry-sponsored trials more often received comments on supporting documentation submitted alongside protocols.
A possible explanation could be that colleagues provide more often narrative comments to explain their ratings compared to coworkers and patients.
There was a non-significant trend indicating that non-industry trials more often received comments related to facilities and research staff (n = 39, 32.0%) compared to industry-sponsored trials (n = 18, 17.3%; RR, 1.60; 95% CI, 0.98 to 2.60).
Non-industry protocols more often received comments related to methodology and statistical analyses and the selection of participants than industry-sponsored protocols, while research based on published trials indicated that methodological quality was comparable for industry-sponsored and non-industry trials [ 12– 12].
Although experts made more interpretative and evaluative comments, they more often qualified their comments with respect to both their interpretation of the evidence and the limitations of their task environment.
Residents made a larger proportion of comments about usability while family physicians commented more often on pragmatic, future uses (residents had a ratio of 4 1 of usability:use/needs comments, general internists, 2 1, family physicians, 1 1; comparison across user groups: Chi Square value = 7.65, df = 2, p =.02).
(Harvard Business School discovered that professors were writing men's comments more frequently on the chalkboard and referring back to men's comments more often than the women students).
More often than not, the comments are amusing, and sometimes they're even insightful.
