The impact of increasing internet penetration on prescription choices and response to pharmaceutical detailing: a 10‐year empirical investigation

This is the final version. Available on open access from Wiley via the DOI in this recordData availability statement: The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.This study investigates the implications of increased internet penetration on demand in the context of pharmaceutical prescribing. The internet has changed the information and tools available to make decisions in complex tasks such as those made by physicians, and any impact on prescribing patterns has implications for the marketing activities of drug manufacturers, necessitating a strategic rethink of business practices. This study conceptualizes the prescription decision-making process through the lens of expectancy value theory. The unique research design allows for the observation of contrasting internet penetration rates of geographically distributed physicians over an extended time period in multiple drug categories. Modeling physician behavior as a combination of learning, peer effects, and face-to-face detailing by pharmaceutical firms, the study finds that the growth of the internet has a significant moderating impact on detailing efforts. Interestingly, the study also documents the interaction between learning and peer effects, as well as how the internet ultimately reduces reliance on prior prescription behavior (prescribing inertia) for the four Cardiovascular drug categories under consideration. We discuss the implications of these findings for R&D managers, marketers, and policymakers

Time for a paradigm shift in shared decision-making in trauma and emergency surgery? Results from an international survey

Background: Shared decision-making (SDM) between clinicians and patients is one of the pillars of the modern patient-centric philosophy of care. This study aims to explore SDM in the discipline of trauma and emergency surgery, investigating its interpretation as well as the barriers and facilitators for its implementation among surgeons. Methods: Grounding on the literature on the topics of the understanding, barriers, and facilitators of SDM in trauma and emergency surgery, a survey was created by a multidisciplinary committee and endorsed by the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES). The survey was sent to all 917 WSES members, advertised through the society’s website, and shared on the society’s Twitter profile. Results: A total of 650 trauma and emergency surgeons from 71 countries in five continents participated in the initiative. Less than half of the surgeons understood SDM, and 30% still saw the value in exclusively engaging multidisciplinary provider teams without involving the patient. Several barriers to effectively partnering with the patient in the decision-making process were identified, such as the lack of time and the need to concentrate on making medical teams work smoothly. Discussion: Our investigation underlines how only a minority of trauma and emergency surgeons understand SDM, and perhaps, the value of SDM is not fully accepted in trauma and emergency situations. The inclusion of SDM practices in clinical guidelines may represent the most feasible and advocated solutions

Young population and AIDS: a study on knowledge and beliefs of 690 university students,Popolazione giovanile ed AIDS: indagine sulle conoscenze e sulle convinzioni di 690 studenti universitari

An investigation aiming at the evaluation or knowledges about AIDS and other sexual diseases among young people, for making it possible to plan effective campaigns of health and sexual education, has been cařried in 4 italian towns (Roma, Milano, L'Aquila, Lecco) among students of different ages, from senior high school 1o University. The present paper refers to 690 University students of Rome (273) and L'Aquila (417). Al the University students of Rome attend the School of Medicine, while the ones of L'Aquila are distribut- ed among the School f Bioloy (92), Engineeering (84), Pedagogy (141), Mathematics (20), Medicine (41), Physics (36). The whole population of students has been divided in two groups on the basis of the attending the School of Medicine (314 units or 45,5%) or not (376 units or $4,5%). In the investigation the instrument used has been an anonimous and selfcompiled questionnaire. The outcomes show a good global knowledge f ADS. In fact, although the informations about the actual diffusion of AIDS are poor, the sexual and bloody transmission and the ways ef prevention of this disease are welI known. The knowłedge of AIDS is significanily (p< 0,01) higher for group af students of Medicine. The other sexual diseases are not as well known as AIDS, except syphilis. Since AIDS can be kept under control only by means of prevention, campaigns ef healt education must be stared in school, both in junior and senior high schools
