title: Medications and information for patients: a quick look.
abstract: A replication of a report of patients' failure to ask about medications and desire to know by the National Council on Patient Information and Education showed 97% of 779 students responded that they do ask questions about prescribed medications but also would like more information. Findings are discussed in terms of methodological considerations.
