About The Study: Among top-selling U.S. prescription drugs in 2020, a rating of lower added benefit and higher total drug sales were associated with a higher proportion of manufacturer total promotional spending allocated to direct-to-consumer advertising. Further research is needed to understand the implications of these findings.
Authors: Michael J. DiStefano, Ph.D., of the Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, is the corresponding author.
