Abstract

Objectives: Establishing the extent to which the public is ready to engage in community pharmacy (CP)-based public-health-related services in the UK is essential for maximizing uptake. The PubPharmQ was developed to measure public perceptions of these roles to identify the barriers to and facilitato...

Four themes, Role in Public Health, Relationship, Privacy, and Expertise, were deductively mapped from PubPharmQ scales.
