Description

This study indicated a change in our culture and a change in physician and patient communication as a result of direct-to-consumer prescription advertising. The Cultivation Theory served as a lens for understanding how these advertisements could have changed something as important as how we manage our health. The content analysis examined direct-to-consumer advertisements aired on primetime television during a one-week period. It was shown that 22 direct-to-consumer advertisements aired. Of those direct-to-consumer advertisements, 14 were aired during dramas, four during news programming, two during reality programming and situational comedies, and zero during sports programming. One hundred percent of the advertisements contained a call to action. The direct-to-consumer advertisements contained positively framed messages 95.5 % of the time and negatively framed messages 63.6% of the time. Ninety percent included a toll-free number while 100% percent contained a website.
