Physician attitudes toward drug information resources.
Am J Hosp Pharm 1975 Jan; 32:(1):19-25
Abstract:
A survey of the drug information needs of physicians in western Washington State is discussed. Of 5006 questionnaires mailed to physicians, 1227 were returned completed. The results showed that physicians depended primarily on journals and texts for drug information. Pharmacists were seldom considered as sources of drug information which would directly affect patient therapy. Slightly more than a third of the respondents indicated a willingness to pay for drug information services
