This data element can be used to indicate whether a healthcare professional has confirmed the occurrence of the adverse reaction when the adverse reaction is reported by a non-healthcare professional such as a lawyer or consumer. If the healthcare professional also reports a causality assessment (related or unrelated to the suspect drug), the causality should be recorded in G.k.9.
