Four questions and a seven-point response scale are used to measure how much a person believes the side effects of a medicinal drug are serious and threatening.
The scale is composed of four, seven-point items intended to measure person's interest in and likelihood of trying a particular prescription medication.
Three questions with a dichotomous response format (yes/no) are used in this scale to measure the extent to which a person reports that direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising has influenced him/her to speak with a physician about the drug and/or his/her medical condition.
This three item, four-point Likert-type scale measures a person's beliefs regarding direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising of prescription drugs. These beliefs could be considered perceptions of the benefits of DTC.
Eighteen, five-point summated rating scales are used to measure the potency of a person's overall negative emotional response to a stimulus to which he or she has been exposed. The stimulus used in the study by Schoenbachler and Whittler (1996) was an antidrug-related public service announcement.
