| Tiivistelmä: | Current controversies surrounding direct-to-consumer (DTC) promotion of prescription drugs are reviewed in an attempt to address the empirical information void and to provide a framework for sound policy deliberations by policy-makers. The paper begins by reviewing the principal arguments put forward by supporters and by opponents of the activity. Then it reports on a series of interconnected empirical studies that examine perceptions of the impact of DTC has on patient consultations and on the physician-patient relationship in New Zealand, one of the markets where prescription drug promotion direct to consumers is permitted. |
