To assess opinions of pharmacist-members of the American Pharmacists Association Academy of Pharmacy Practice and Management (APhA-APPM) regarding the appropriate level of pharmacists' involvement in emergency preparedness and response activities and to determine whether opinions differed according to demographic characteristics.
Cross-sectional, descriptive, Web-based survey.
United States.
Five hundred eighteen APhA-APPM member-pharmacists.
Responses to survey questions.
Respondents to our survey indicated that pharmacists should have a high level of involvement in emergency preparedness and response activities. Traditional pharmacy practice activities (such as medication preparation and dispensing) and patient education were the most highly supported roles for pharmacists. Newer activities such as surveillance, vaccine administration, and mobilization were also strongly supported. Demographic characteristics, such as age, sex, degree, state of residence, practice setting, and employment setting, did not influence respondents' opinions. The only characteristic that influenced pharmacist opinions was previous participation in local and/or state emergency preparedness and response activities. Compared with other respondents, pharmacists who participated in these activities gave higher ratings to these possible roles for pharmacists: surveillance, triage/evaluation, community planning and preparation, mobilization, and training of others.
Pharmacist-members of APhA-APPM who responded to this survey believe that participating in public health activities related to emergency preparedness and response is important for members of the pharmacy profession.
评估美国药剂师协会药学实践与管理学会（APhA - APPM）的药剂师成员对于药剂师参与应急准备和应对活动的适当程度的看法，并确定这些看法是否因人口统计学特征而异。
基于网络的横断面描述性调查。
美国。
518名APhA - APPM成员药剂师。
对调查问卷问题的回答。
我们调查的受访者表示，药剂师应高度参与应急准备和应对活动。传统药学实践活动（如药品调配和分发）以及患者教育是药剂师最受支持的角色。监测、疫苗接种和动员等新活动也得到了大力支持。年龄、性别、学位、居住州、实践环境和工作环境等人口统计学特征并未影响受访者的意见。影响药剂师意见的唯一特征是以前参与地方和/或州应急准备和应对活动的经历。与其他受访者相比，参与过这些活动的药剂师对药剂师在以下可能角色上的评分更高：监测、分诊/评估、社区规划与准备、动员以及对他人的培训。
参与本次调查的APhA - APPM药剂师成员认为，参与与应急准备和应对相关的公共卫生活动对药学专业人员很重要。
