OBJECTIVE
To investigate the level and perceived quality of health promotion advice received from rural pharmacists.
DESIGN
Self-administered written survey on access to and quality of pharmacy services in rural Western Australia completed by rural residents.
SETTING
Rural pharmacy.
PARTICIPANTS
Four hundred and eighty-three respondents who regularly used a pharmacy.
OUTCOME MEASURES
Items in the survey included frequency of receiving prevention advice and satisfaction ratings on health and pharmacy services.
RESULTS
Eighty-eight per cent of respondents had never discussed exercise or diet with their pharmacist and 65% had never discussed preventing health problems. Receiving good prevention advice predicted satisfaction with health services in general but not satisfaction with pharmacy services.
CONCLUSION
Pharmacies are being underutilised with respect to their capacity to deliver heath prevention advice and ways to capitalise on this potential need to be investigated.
