The GrantSixteen billion dollars is the estimated amount that the pharmaceutical industry spends each year on marketing to influence the attitudes, knowledge and behaviors of physicians, nurse
practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacists in their prescribing for patients.
•
• Woody Allen relates the story of a man who tells his psychiatrist that his brother thinks he is a chicken. “What does he say when you tell him he is not?” the doctor inquires. The man replies- “We don’t---we like the eggs.” This is not unlike the attitude of healthcare providers towards the pharmaceutical industry.
• Our greatest concern is not the marketing practices of the pharmaceutical industry nor the lobbying for them done by the pharmaceutical (drug) representatives doing their jobs.
• .• The question that we care most about is how to educate/convince the health care community (physicians, pharmacist, nurse practitioners, physician assistants) that
their prescribing practices are being influenced by pharmaceutical marketing.
•
How can we convince our colleagues that the cost of those free “eggs” is just too high?

The goal of providers is to prescribe the most appropriate
medication for patients.
The goal of industry is to make sure that the medication
prescribed is their product, whether or not , it’s the
optimal choice.
![Page 9: Unique Invulnerability Curriculum to counter the influence of pharmaceutical industry promotion on health care providers](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0e5503460f94af7c4f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Most of us getting information from
pharmaceutical industry or its
representatives consider ourselves
immune to its influence.
![Page 10: Unique Invulnerability Curriculum to counter the influence of pharmaceutical industry promotion on health care providers](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0e5503460f94af7c4f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
But the CEOs of these businesses are
neither philanthropists nor stupid.
The pharmaceutical industry conducts
outcome studies on their advertising
campaigns as they do now on their
medications.

This is not unlike the attitude of healthcare
providers towards the pharmaceutical
industry.

The question that we care most about is:
how can we educate/convince the health care
community
that our prescribing practices are being
influenced by pharmaceutical marketing?

that the cost of those free “eggs”
is just too high?

Resistance to persuasion
• Need ability to realize illegitimate authority
• Need to acknowledge vulnerability to manipulation
• A sense of unfair manipulation provides motivation for resistance

Aversion to being unduly manipulated
Aversion may stem from:– Avoidance of the punishing material & social
consequences of misguided decisions. – Because failure to do so threatens such undesirable
self-labels as dupes and fool— • consistent with research linking resistance to persuasion
with threats to the self » (Cohen, Aronson, & Steele, 2000; Jacks & Cameron, 2001;
Katz, 1960; McGuire, 1964; Sherif & Cantril, 1947).

Understanding techniques of persuasion
![Page 22: Unique Invulnerability Curriculum to counter the influence of pharmaceutical industry promotion on health care providers](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0e5503460f94af7c4f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Automatic responses preceding rational thought
• Reciprocity-– someone does something nice for you and you feel you should be nice to
them– Uninvited debt
– Concessions
• Commitment- – You follow through on these mental obligations
• Consistency- – You match the rest of your thoughts about a person or medication in order to be
consistent with that fixed-action response mental commitments to a medication
• Social Proof/Authority – Your colleagues’ ( and experts’) support for interactions with agents of
persuasion reinforces the legitimacy of your thinking

Teaching Approach
• In this slideshow, we attempt to engage the learner and incorporate their opinions in the discussion, early in the presentation. We then present information on the topic using a focus on direct to consumer advertising to make the same points of vulnerability that we are trying to address for direct to provider advertising as well, with the hope this approach leads to less resistance in the learner..

Presentations of material used to mislead
Misleading information
• Fluid information – Exaggeration
– Ambiguity
• Omission of information.
• Distraction– Appeal to our desire for power or simplicity or sex or self
respect or self esteem. • Most common way to appeal to our desires is with images
