Pharmacists are at the frontline of the primary health care team. However, very few studies have looked at pharmacists’ attitudes, levels of confidence and self-reported pediatric asthma management practices on a global scale.
With funding donated to CMCD from the Askwith Foundation, CMCD affiliate Minal R. Patel, PhD, MPH and colleagues are conducting a survey of community pharmacists in the US in order to identify their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding counseling pediatric asthma patients. The investigators plan to conduct a trans-national comparison between these community pharmacists and a similar survey of pharmacists in Australia. The results will be used to determine the feasibility of pharmacy asthma education initiatives conducted transnationally.
