Abstract:

This study was undertaken to obtain measurements of how much time doctors spend with different kinds of promotional media. Commercial channels of information (sales representatives, direct mailings, journal advertisements) received less time than medical journals and colleagues. Sales representatives are the main commercial source of information. All general practitioners were highly receptive to visits from sales representatives. Suggestions are presented for the most productive way for drug companies to spend additional promotional dollars.
