Abstract (43) : This report is based on a national survey of United States consumers on the topic of direct-to-consumer advertising covering issues such as: public opinion of DTCA; awareness of DTC advertising; assessing the amount of information consumers get from DTCA; does advertising produce prescriptions; does DTCA change patient compliance with drug therapies; and are consumers informed about prescription medicine.
