Description

The Butler University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences curriculum places high emphasis on public health, in particular, the pharmacist's role, but what is actually going on in Indiana? Which community pharmacies offer public health services? Where can people go to get access to preventative care and disease management? What are the motivators or the obstacles for pharmacies to offer public health services?

By compiling this information and presenting it to students and faculty within Butler's College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, new graduates can be more informed on where to refer their patients for public health services and disease management.

To get data for this project, surveys were mailed to over 330 pharmacies across Indiana. The survey asks questions relating to the type of pharmacy (ex. chain, independent, grocery), the setting (ex. urban, rural), what services are offered, what the perceived benefits of offering the services are, as well as what obstacles prevent some services from being offered.
