E-DRUG: control/change prescription habits of physicians (2)
------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Allon Zuker,

I suggest you look in the e-drug archives for a start.
[http://www.essentialdrugs.org/edrug/archives.php WB]

eg A study among Australian doctos HARVEY K, et al. Educational
Antibiotic Advertising Campaign . Med J Aust. 2(11): 536-7, 1983 ...
http://www.essentialdrugs.org/edrug/archive/199612/msg00040.php

There have been many campaigns aimed at improving prescribing habits
of doctors. A series of campaigns and workshops in Australia around
the themes Factors influencing prescribing and Rational Prescribing:
the challenge for medical educators. and more, covered an enormous
range of issues from curriculum content to drug company advertising.
Communications in the e-drug archives will lead you to documentation
about many of these initiatives - not only in Australia but
throughout the world.

The website
http://www.healthyskepticism.org/index.htm
should provide some good leads.

Good luck
