Direct-to-consumer advertising surveys

Prevention conducts surveys on its readership and has contributed the results to the scientific community. One such campaign covered the effects of direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) of medications. The surveys questioned over-the-counter buying habits, doctor responses to questions prompted from advertisements, and the economic effects on patients' decisions to seek treatment.[2][3]
