An international survey of the educational activities of schools of pharmacy on psychoactive drugs.
A survey of the educational activities of schools of pharmacy on psychoactive drugs in 92 countries was carried out. All the schools which replied felt that there was a need for specific education on psychoactive drugs, and the majority felt that the rational use of such drugs should also be taught. Both the amount of teaching given and the methods used varied. This was particularly true for related subjects such as alternatives to psychoactive drug use. Almost a third of schools considered that they did not devote adequate time to psychoactive drugs and their rational use, and many would be grateful for specific educational guidelines in this area.
