Disputed The sentence appears verbatim in the JAMA source page’s abstract/results section, and the page shows it was published online on March 19, 2019. However, the source is a multi-author research article credited to Victor W. Zhong, Linda Van Horn, Marilyn C. Cornelis, et al., not a single-author statement by Linda Van Horn alone, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote attributed only to her.
