The evidence grade adapts SuperTruth's own Data Trust Index; its source is the first author's own paper and has not been peer reviewed. SuperTruth funded this work and controlled its design, analysis, writing and the decision to publish. SuperTruth built this index and chose the real cases itself; no country, company or person paid to be included, excluded or scored. imaware, an affiliate of SuperTruth, provides testing services under agreements with some US state governments. The index scores the United States as one country and does not score any state separately; no government or health system paid to be included or had any say in its scores. All three authors are officers of SuperTruth; no author or reviewer outside SuperTruth took part.
