One of the things that occurs to me as we do this study is the reality of the particular group of people we're talking about here. One question that's come up a couple of times is: Are we making sure that our armed forces have informed decision-making about medication that they're taking?
The other part that I think is really important is that as they may be experiencing some of the impacts of taking mefloquine, what is keeping them from disclosing? When you look at it, career prospects and looking at the future are challenges that provide barriers for people.
When I look at what's happened over the course of time of this medication being in the system, I'm very concerned about people who may be serving our country right now who are having some of these symptoms, but they don't want to talk about it because they don't want to see their careers get shut down.
Are the folks who serve us getting informed information about the medication that they're taking? I'm wondering if you can speak to that in that nuance of this particular group of people we're talking about. We're not talking about people who are going for a vacation. We're talking about people who are serving our country.
Dr. Quinn, if I could start with you.
