Abstract:

This study content analyzed 41 direct-to-consumer (DTC) prescription drug advertisements aired in network evening news programs during a period of eighty days in late 2006. The ads were extensively coded for the presentation of risk and benefit information, advertising appeals, as well as a number of other key attributes of DTC advertising messages. As our data collection continues, the key findings so far revealed that the presentation of risk and benefit information greatly differs in many aspects. As such, the FDA’s “fair balance” requirement of DTC broadcast ads may not have been fully fulfilled by pharmaceutical advertisers. Implications and suggestions for future research were also discussed.
