Abstract

A postal census of community pharmacies in Queensland, Australia (N = 955, response rate = 61%) was conducted in late 1984 to document services provided, particularly specialized health-related services, and identtfy the pharmacies involved. The specialized services identified were rental of home health care suplies (53%), sports medicine (37%), pregnancy testing (36%), diabetic (15%) and hypertensive (8%) services. Each service was correlated with a number of demographic and business variables also collected by the survey, to determine their relationship to service provision. The analysis was a screening procedure to facilitate further investieation of factors affecting the establishment and operation of specializd services to enable policy formulation to guide further development in areas appropriate to the profession of pharmacy.
