Description
Seven authors survey in 2024 which women of childbearing age turn to pharmacists for drug safety facts. Drug use in pregnancy is common, and over-the-counter use is rising, so sources of advice matter. The online sample held 210 women aged 18 to 44 in the United States from 2018 to 2019.
Just over half said they use pharmacists as a safety source. Women who found written medical facts hard to grasp were less likely to ask a pharmacist. Black or African American women were also less likely to do so. The authors see room for pharmacists to build trust with these groups.
