E-drug: Re: Quality use of Medicines in Australia (cont)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Those interested in the issue of the effects of user fees on the utilization
of pharmaceuticals can download a systematic review on this topic that I did
along with a colleague, Paul Grootendorst. Go to
<http://www.thecem.net/projectsframe.html> and under "2002" you can download
the following article in pdf format:
The Effects of Prescription Drug User Fees on Drug and Health Services Use
and Health Status: a Review of the Evidence
We have submitted this to Social Science and Medicine and so hopefully it
will end up being published.
