[Self-assessment by physicians concerning their management of drug risks. Information sources, risk evaluation, problems and recommendations for improvements].
Interviews of a representative sample of 201 physicians (general practitioners, gynecologists, pediatricians) with a mean age of 47 years show: there is a unmanageable amount of information about drugs and their risks. The physicians prefer practical experience rather than specialized literature. As a result they plead for a central authority of information with periodical reports on the current knowledge of drug-therapy and with the possibility of therapeutical consultation.
