Abstract
- This study examines the association of social factors with the intention to seek and behavior of obtaining additional prescription medication information after direct-to-consumer prescription medication advertisement (DTCA) exposure. Data were analyzed from 667 college students who were exposed to online social media advertisements. Subjective norms and trust were both positively associated with intentions and behavior. Bridging social capital was positively associated with intentions but not with behavior. Bonding social capital was negatively associated with intentions while it was positively associated with behavior. Pharmaceutical companies should consider subjective norms and trust when advertising prescription medications on online social media. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
