E-drug: Public Health Pharmacy (cont)
---------------------------------------------
I think that the discipline of pharmaco-epidemiology can be considered an
expression of 'public health pharmacy'. Especially in the Netherlands,
community pharmacy dispensing records have played a valuable role in
the quest for reliable ascertainment of drug exposure. This work is
summarized in the chapter by Leufkens and me in Brian Strom's
textbook of pharmaco-epidemiology
(Wiley; 3rd ed. is the latest).
