Texas community pharmacists' willingness to participate in pharmacist-initiated emergency contraception

A majority of Texas community pharmacists were quite knowledgeable about and aware of EC, but fewer had actually dispensed EC. Most had not heard of PIEC before study participation, and their perceptions relating to PIEC were generally unfavorable. Potential barriers to PIEC outnumbered potential benefits for most pharmacists. Findings indicate that Texas community pharmacists were not willing to become involved in PIEC at the time of this study.
