Abstract
The present research explored several aspects concerning hazard/risk communication in direct-to-consumer (DTC) television advertising. Results indicated that participants frequently encounter DTC ads and some report information seeking as a result. Participants reported that their physicians will fill their requests for DTC advertised drugs. They report infrequently making online (Internet) purchases of prescription drugs possibly due to safety and legal concerns. Implications of the findings for factors/ergonomics (HF/E) professionals are discussed.
