Use of antibiotics and psychoactive preparations.

This is a report of selected aspects of a larger study of 70 general practitioners. The method involved a detailed study of performance over a period of three days using rating scales and check-lists to assess competence. A possible relationship between competence and rate of antibiotic prescribing was found. There was variation in the extent of psychiatric history-taking when psychoactive preparations were used. Advice about potential side effects was given in only a third of instances when a psychoactive preparation was prescribed for a new episode of illness.

A survey of the effects of a drug promotion campaign.

A postal survey which tried to test the impact of a drug-promotion campaign is described. One hundred and twenty randomly-selected general practitioners were circulated and a 74.8 per cent response was obtained. Of the responders, 92 per cent were aware of the existence of the preparation, and of these responders 69 per cent were unaware either of the pharmacologically approved name of the drug, or the fact that its pharmacologically active constituent was already available under another brand name.
