“…These rates fall within the ranges of previously reported response rates for pharmacy clients who were handed out questionnaires at the time of purchase of a product and were asked to return them later (Smith, 1997; Whitaker, Wilson, Bargh, Chapman, & Dudley, 1995). Studies specifically undertaken within pharmacy settings to research emergency contraception have achieved response rates of lower than 10% related to the sensitive topic, time limitations, and attempts to minimize the burden of pharmacy staff (Killick & Irving, 2004; Gardner, Hutchings, Fuller, & Downing, 2001; Sommers, Chaiyakunapruk, Gardner, & Winkler, 2001)…”

Important but Incomplete: Plan B as an Avenue for Post-assault Care

Many survivors of rape do not seek post-assault care. The recent change in status of emergency contraception (EC), such as Plan B, to an over-the-counter (OTC) product may be further changing post-assault care-seeking. This descriptive study will quantify OTC EC use in the post-assault period and elicit survivors’ desires for care. Data were collected from women purchasing OTC EC at university pharmacies (n=55) and students in an undergraduate university class (n=165). Quantitative results indicate annual prevalence rates of post-assault OTC EC use as 5.4%-7.3%. Qualitative analyses indicate OTC EC is an important but incomplete form of post-assault care. Future work should focus on intervention development to provide all OTC EC users with information about post-assault resources to prevent long-term sequelae.

“…A sample size of 305 was required to achieve 95% confidence that responses for dichotomous variables would be representative of the study population. With consideration for a typical response rate to health surveys of 50% [13] a total sample of 608 pharmacies was required. A stratified random selection of 152 pharmacies from each HSE region was chosen in order to allow equal representation.…”

The findings of this study indicated that community pharmacists perceive that there is room for improvement in the communication between themselves and prescribers in the primary and secondary care settings, concerning the care of the stroke patient. This highlights the need for the development of formal communication channels between community pharmacists and other members of the healthcare team involved in the care of the stroke patient. However, the challenges of communicating patient information across healthcare sectors are recognized.

National Survey of Australia's Community Pharmacies in 2002: Rationale and Methodology

Aim:To describe the rationale and methods for a national study of pharmacy practice activities performed in Australia's community pharmacies. The purpose is to produce a reference set of data on Australia's community pharmacies for subse quent national and international comparisons. Background: There is no standard reference database of Aus tralian pharmacy practice services against which changes can be monitored or international comparisons made. The lack of national data restricts the ability of pharmacy bodies to plan, quantify and rationally develop policies. Study Design: A national survey of respondents in stratified 15% random samples of Australia's community pharmacies was undertaken. The stratification was based on categories 1 to 6 of PHARIA 2001. An advisory panel of representatives of national pharmacy bodies and experienced pharmacy researchers was formed to guide the study and monitor the results. The survey instrument was constructed to maximise response rates and minimise measurement, coverage, non-response and sam pling errors. The project was publicised in a variety of phar macy publications early in 2002 to make pharmacists aware of the project and to encourage participation. Multiple contacts and mixed-mode surveys by telephone, mail, facsimile and Internet will be used in the selected pharmacies to achieve a 75% response rate. Survey items have been divided into sec tions of 1. pharmacy and staff characteristics, 2. the types of services (e.g. general, pharmacy care, specialised activities), and 3. technical facilities used in health-related activities. Anal ysis of the items in each section and the associations between them will quantify the rates of, and factors related to, the provision and distribution of pharmacy services in Australia.
