A recent study found that nearly 61% of Hispanic patients 50 years of age and older, and 59% of African Americans in the same age bracket see pharmacists as supportive partners compared to doctors, particularly due to the pharmacists’ guidance when it comes to health and wellness.

After a year of mining over one million online public domain conversations via a tech-enabled platform, CulturIntelTM published its How to Leverage Doctors and Pharmacists in Marketing Plans to Yield Better Health Outcomes Study. Conversations were mined between April 2021 and April 2022, and included

  • 1.6 million public domain digital conversations about doctors
  • 84,000 public domain digital conversations about pharmacists
