Consumers' willingness to use a medication management service: the effect of medication-related worry and the social influence of the general practitioner.
Some consumers at risk of experiencing medication-related problems have chosen not to use pharmacist-provided medication management services. Previous research has shown that consumers' willingness to use the Australian Home Medicines Review (HMR) service depends on the extent to which they believe that they will receive medication information to assist them with self-management. ⋯ Those consumers who were worried about their medicines were more willing to use HMR. The consumer's GP appeared to exert a significant positive social influence over willingness to use this medication management service.
