摘要
The widespread use of many new and powerful drugs and the increasing recognition of adverse effects has stimulated interest in the manner in which physicians prescribe drugs. The three main sources of information about the prescribing patterns of physicians are marketing research data, studies of general practice and monitoring of prescribing in hospitals. These sources show that prescribing patterns vary greatly among physicians according to their place and type of practice and the community in which they prescribe. The need for further research into the prescribing practices of physicians is stressed and a possible approach to these studies is outlined. Improved information systems for the monitoring of drug consumption is prerequisite to more detailed investigations into physicians' prescribing patterns. © 1969.
