New publication by Pharmacy faculty member Andrew Bzowyckyj

I am pleased to share with you that new Pharmacy faculty member Andrew Bzowyckyj has generated a new peer-reviewed article, Public perception of pharmacist-prescribed self-administered non-emergency hormonal contraception: An analysis of online social discourse, published in Research in Social Administrative Pharmacy.  This work is in collaboration with associates at Oregon State University.

From the abstract:

Increasing access to hormonal contraception reduces unintended pregnancies. One strategy gaining momentum is allowing patients to access hormonal contraception directly from pharmacists. Commentary on online news articles provides a naturalistic and real-time data source to assess public perceptions on timely and often controversial issues.
