title: [Prescription quality indicators].
abstract: The availability of Danish registers permits the construction of indicators for monitoring the quality of prescriptions in general practice. Such indicators should have a high face-, construct-, content- and criteria validity. No easy way of assessing an indicator's validity has yet been developed, and it remains unknown whether access to clinical and socioeconomic registers will improve the usefulness of such indicators.
