Education of Rural Community Pharmacists To Provide Nutrition Information.
Boggs, Sharon A. C.; And Others
American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, v60 n4 p353-58 Win 1996
A survey of 130 rural community pharmacists in Washington State found 70% in towns with five or fewer pharmacies; almost all provided nutrition information to their communities though only 20% had taken a nutrition course during pharmacy training. Most common questions concerned supplements and weight loss. Respondents relied on pharmacy journals, package inserts, and pharmacy texts for information. (Author/MSE)
