| Tiivistelmä: | In the article, the results are based on a telephone survey of 1005 residents in southern California. It is provides information about general awareness of the issue, disposal practices, willingness to pay for a disposal program, and willingness to participate in a disposal program. Less than half of the respondents are aware of the issue. The results of a contingent valuation question indicate a substantial willingness to pay a surcharge on prescriptions to support the establishment of a pharmaceutical disposal program. It is found that: 1) a benefit-cost comparison suggests ample scope for establishing a pharmaceutical disposal program that would yield positive net social benefits, even if the surcharge was applied to only one prescription per year. 2) respondents are likely to participate in a disposal program. |
