Abstract (43) : Methodology note: There is no control group in this study. Responders are not compared to nonresponders and therefore there may be a systematic difference between the two groups. Whether or not the increased prescribing was appropriate is not evaluated.
Call Number (44) : In order to determine the impact of commercial company funding of continuing medical education (CME) courses, a survey was undertaken. Drug prescribing rates for drugs related to course content were determined by self-report survey of physician attendees
