It's not that I'm in favor of binge drinking...
It's not that I'm in favor of binge drinking by college students on spring break, but this story about the American Medical Association and advocacy polling doesn't help. It's long and well worth reading ALL of, including the part after the jump. American Association for Public Opinion Research president Cliff Zukin comments:
I'm not naive or simplistic. I don't say this about research that is either done by partisans or about research that is never entered into the public arena. But the case here is a non-profit organization entering data into the public debate. As I said to them in one of my emails, AAPOR can no more condone bad science than the AMA would knowingly condone bad medicine. It's really that simple
