Fifty doctors completed a questionnaire which assessed their knowledge of the basic National Health Service cost of 15 commonly prescribed medications. Nearly half the estimates exceeded twice the actual cost of the drug. As well as ignorance of absolute prices, the study demonstrated imperfect knowledge of the relative prices of drugs of the same type. Estimates of the costs of commonly prescribed medications were no more accurate than those for rarely prescribed drugs. Self perception of cost consciousness was not related to the accuracy of the responses.
五十名医生完成了一份调查问卷，该问卷评估了他们对15种常用处方药的基本国民医疗服务成本的了解。近一半的估计值超过了药物实际成本的两倍。除了对绝对价格的无知外，该研究还表明对同一类型药物的相对价格了解不全面。常用处方药成本的估计并不比很少开的药的估计更准确。对成本意识的自我认知与回答的准确性无关。
