Trained observers noted whether the pharmacist provided information on directions for use, mode of action, and adverse effects. To examine factors associated with counseling, a multiple logistic regression analysis was constructed, with the dependent variable being counseling of any of the 3 observed topics. In addition to therapeutic class, other independent variables were the pharmacy; pharmacist's age, gender, and degree; and the customer's age, gender, previous use of medicine, and question asking.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Provision of counseling differed significantly according to therapeutic classes. Counseling on any of the 3 observed topics was most likely to be provided for customers with antibiotics (80%) and least likely for customers with gynecologic preparations (18%). Differences between therapeutic classes remained statistically significant when the effects of the other variables were controlled for. Other significant predictors for any verbal counseling were the pharmacy, customer's previous use of the medicine, and question asking.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Therapeutic class is an important variable that should be included in further studies and considered when comparing studies on patient counseling in community pharmacies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1345\/aph.1a374","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,6,4]],"date-time":"2003-06-04T16:20:48Z","timestamp":1054743648000},"page":"781-786","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["Effect of Therapeutic Class on Counseling in Community Pharmacies"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Kirsti K","family":"Vainio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Kirsti K Vainio PharmLic, Senior Lecturer, Department of Social Pharmacy, University of Kuopio, Kuopio, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marja SA","family":"Airaksinen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marja SA Airaksinen PhD, Senior Lecturer, Department of Social Pharmacy, University of Kuopio"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tarja T","family":"Hyykky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tarja T Hyykky MSc(Pharm), Pharmacist, Juuka Pharmacy, Juuka, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K Hannes","family":"Enlund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"K Hannes Enlund PhD, Professor, Department of Pharmacy Practice, Kuwait University, Kuwait City, Kuwait"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr-bibr1-aph.1A374","first-page":"49373","volume":"57","author":"Department of Health and Human Services","year":"1992","journal-title":"Fed Reg"},{"key":"bibr-bibr2-aph.1A374","unstructured":"Airaksinen M.
