Building on the agenda setting theory, two-step flow theory, and the Health Belief Model, we dig into the interrelation…
Optimistic Bias and Consumer Prescription Drug Decisions

We propose and test a model that addresses how exposure to DTCA plays a role in health risk assessment and prescription drug decision engagement. Findings from an online survey of U.S. adults (n = 628) demonstrated that exposure to DTCA is positively associated with consumers' per…
