Abstract

A random sample of physicians and pharmacists in Nigeria was surveyed by means of questionnaires. Results indicated that both groups made use of a wide range of information sources for general update but depended on a few sources for drug information per se. A Wilcoxon rank-sum test on the use of drug information sources by the two groups indicated no significant difference. A comparison of physicians in old and new schools with respect to use of drug information sources also showed no significant difference. A Kruskal- Wallis H test on regional scores of both physicians and pharmacists combined, however, had a significant effect. A case is made for the establishment of drug information centers in Nigeria.
