Behavioral pharmacy research by social and administrative science faculty from 1989-1999

American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, Summer 2001 by Lonie, John M, Dolinsky, Donna, Alafris, Antonia

This paper reviews and examines a select category of published abstracts pertaining to social and behavioral pharmacy created by Social and Administrative Science faculty members from 1989 through 1999. Through a search of the names of Social and Administrative Science faculty members in the 1999 AACP member Roster in International Pharmaceutical Abstracts and MEDLINE, 106 abstracts that fit the inclusion criteria were identified. Based upon categories and subcategories of "who" and "what"was studied, the authors classified each abstract. Independent judges reviewed each abstract to address inter-rater reliability. The findings showed that the majority of publications centered on such topics as attitudes, beliefs and perceptions of patients or pharmacists, as well as medication issues/problems in the elderly. There was little social or behavioral pharmacy intervention research conducted. Divisions of social and administrative sciences seem primed for more research in areas that concentrate on behavioral pharmaceutical care interventions.
