RESULTS: There were 138 children aged 2 to 11 years who completed Funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). the trial. Within each study group, symptoms were improved on the second night. Between treatment groups, significant differences in improvement were detected for outcomes related to cough, conges- tion, and sleep difficulty; VR consistently scored the best, and no treat- ment scored the worst. Pairwise comparisons demonstrated the supe- riority of VR over no treatment for all outcomes except rhinorrhea and over petrolatum for cough severity, child and parent sleep difficulty, and combined symptom score. Petrolatum was not significantly better than no treatment for any outcome. Irritant adverse effects were more common among VR-treated participants. CONCLUSIONS: In a comparison of VR, petrolatum, and no treatment, parents rated VR most favorably for symptomatic relief of their child’s nocturnal cough, congestion, and sleep difficulty caused by upper re- spiratory tract infection. Despite mild irritant adverse effects, VR pro- vided symptomatic relief for children and allowed them and their par- ents to have a more restful night than those in the other study groups.

  • The Evolution of Brand Preferences Evidence from Consumer Migration
    The Evolution of Brand Preferences Evidence from Consumer Migration Bart J. Bronnenberg Jean-Pierre H. Dubé CentER, Tilburg University University of Chicago and NBER Matthew Gentzkow∗ University of Chicago and NBER First version: April 26, 2010 This version: August 2, 2010 Abstract We study the long-run evolution of brand preferences, using new data on consumers’ life histo- ries and purchases of consumer packaged goods. Variation in where consumers have lived in the past allows us to isolate the causal effect of past experiences on current purchases, holding constant con- temporaneous supply-side factors. We show that brand preferences form endogenously, are highly persistent, and explain 40 percent of geographic variation in market shares. Counterfactuals suggest that brand preferences create large entry barriers and durable advantages for incumbent firms, and can explain the persistence of early-mover advantage over long periods.

  • TRIAL: Vapor Rub, Petrolatum and No Treatment for Children with Nocturnal Cough and Cold Symptoms1
    RxFiles.ca ­ Trial Summary D. Bunka ­ May 2011 TRIAL: Vapor Rub, Petrolatum and No Treatment for Children with Nocturnal Cough and Cold Symptoms1 Bottom Line: Reassure parents that colds in young children are generally self‐limiting. New evidence suggests that vapor rub (VR) is effective at providing symptomatic relief of nocturnal cough, congestion and sleep difficulties in children > 2 years of age, as compared to petrolatum or no treatment. However, consideration should be give to limitations: duration of study was only 1 night, small population, potential for loss of blinding, funding source (makers of VICKS VAPORUB) and use of subjective parental assessment as the primary outcome. If parents decide to use VR, inform them it is common for children to experience mild irritant effects (~15‐30%) such as burning skin, eyes, and/or nose. Continue to recommend routine comfort measures (e.g. humidifiers, saline nasal spray) for symptomatic relief. Background: The Health Canada restrictions2 for use of OTC cough and cold medications in treating young children, leaves many parents wondering what they can do to help their little one feel better. The Trial: o Partially double‐blinded, randomized, single‐night study design with 138 children, stratified by age mean 5.8 ± 2.8 yrs. o Included: ages 2 to 5 yrs and 6 to 11 years, with URI sx of cough, congestion and rhinorrhea lasting 7 days or longer. o Excluded: hx of asthma, chronic lung disease, or seizure disorder, signs/sx of a more treatable disease (e.g. sinusitis, pneumonia, allergic rhinitis). Excluded if child was given selected OTC or Rx meds on the night before enrollment (e.g.
