To assess the impact of direct pharmacy access to emergency contraception (EC) and availability of EC in Albuquerque and rural New Mexico and to compare availability of EC in Albuquerque with that estimated in a 2002 study.
Investigational study.
Albuquerque and rural New Mexico, between March and September 2005.
121 community pharmacies (94 in Albuquerque and 27 in rural New Mexico).
Research assistants visited pharmacies and followed a predetermined script during interviews with pharmacy staff.
Availability of EC with and without an advance prescription; other factors related to EC access.
EC was available in 50% of both Albuquerque and rural pharmacies. EC was available without an advance prescription in 13% of pharmacies. The medication was more likely to be in stock at pharmacies with an EC-certified pharmacist on staff (92%) than in those without an EC-certified pharmacist (39%) (P < 0.001). A study performed in 2002 reported that EC was in stock during 11% of visits to Albuquerque pharmacies, whereas the current study reported EC being available during 50% of visits.
At the time of this study, EC availability was similar in both Albuquerque and rural New Mexico pharmacies, and pharmacies with trained pharmacists on staff were more likely to stock EC medications.
评估在阿尔伯克基和新墨西哥州农村地区，药房直接提供紧急避孕药（EC）的影响以及紧急避孕药的可及性，并将阿尔伯克基紧急避孕药的可及性与2002年一项研究中的估计情况进行比较。
调查研究。
2005年3月至9月期间的阿尔伯克基和新墨西哥州农村地区。
121家社区药房（94家在阿尔伯克基，27家在新墨西哥州农村地区）。
研究助理走访药房，并在与药房工作人员访谈时遵循预先确定的脚本。
有无提前处方时紧急避孕药的可及性；与紧急避孕药获取相关的其他因素。
阿尔伯克基和农村地区各有50%的药房提供紧急避孕药。13%的药房无需提前处方即可提供紧急避孕药。与没有获得紧急避孕药认证药剂师的药房（39%）相比，有获得紧急避孕药认证药剂师在职的药房（92%）更有可能备有该药物（P < 0.001）。2002年进行的一项研究报告称，在对阿尔伯克基药房的11%的走访中紧急避孕药有库存，而本研究报告称在50%的走访中紧急避孕药可供使用。
在本研究开展之时，阿尔伯克基和新墨西哥州农村地区药房紧急避孕药的可及性相似，且有经过培训的药剂师在职的药房更有可能备有紧急避孕药。
