Another ethical issue concerns weighing costs and benefits in helping consumers choose drugs.

Cases and case studies can be powerful aids. Both can be used to train professionals in fields such as education, public administration, management, medicine, social work and caring occupations. Case studies can be an engaging way to evaluate the feasibility of possible solutions [6].
