<p>A list of antipsychotics and their chlorpromazine equivalent doses, generated
from the following file included with the package:
system.file("extdata", "woods2003.csv", package="chlorpromazineR").</p>

datasets

As different antipsychotic medications have different potencies,
the doses of different medications cannot be directly compared. Various
strategies are used to convert doses into a common reference so that
comparison is meaningful. Chlorpromazine (CPZ) has historically been used
as a reference medication into which other antipsychotic doses can be
converted, as "chlorpromazine-equivalent doses". Using conversion keys
generated from widely-cited scientific papers, e.g. Gardner et. al 2010
<doi:10.1176/appi.ajp.2009.09060802> and Leucht et al. 2016
<doi:10.1093/schbul/sbv167>, antipsychotic doses are converted
to CPZ (or any specified antipsychotic) equivalents. The use of the package
is described in the included vignette. Not for clinical use.

woods2003 function

<p>A named list of 3 named lists (1 for each route) and each sub-list
contains the conversion factors for each antipsychotic. The 3 top-level lists
are named `oral`, `sai`, and `lai` (route), and the lists they contain have
names corresponding to the antipsychotic, e.g. `olanzapine`.</p>
