We describe the changing pattern of general practitioner prescribing in the National Health Service in England between 1970 and 1975.The percentage increase in items of prescriptions had increased 10 times as much as the percentage increase in the population in the same period. One of the reasons given is that there may be a growing tendency to give a prescription when it would be better to give advice.The evidence seems to support other findings that the profession responds much more widely to reports on the good effects of a drug than it does to its adverse effects.
我们描述了1970年至1975年间英国国家医疗服务体系中全科医生开药模式的变化。处方项目的增长百分比是同期人口增长百分比的10倍。给出的一个原因是，在本应给出建议时开具处方的趋势可能在增加。证据似乎支持了其他研究结果，即该行业对药物疗效报告的反应比对其不良反应报告的反应要广泛得多。
