Abstract:Although direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising has been widely researched, none of the earlier studies have concentrated on empirical assessments of its overall effect on consumers. This article examines the ethical issue of DTC advertising offering a balance of product and risk information that is both understandable and believable, and contributes direction for future research.
