摘要
Direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) of prescription drugs is a controversial practice where pros and cons have been documented by research. Past research has advocated considering DTCA from the consumer perspective, especially its effects on vulnerable consumers. This paper provides a review of prior research and examines consumer vulnerability in the context of DTCA.
