Abstract
- Pharmacists' attitudes are an important aspect of services for drug misuse.
- We examined pharmacists' attitudes towards pharmacy services for drug misuse in Finland.
- Pharmacists with experience of opioid substitution treatment had more positive attitudes.
- Pharmacists without this experience were more concerned about safety and diversion.
- Further research is needed into methods to improve pharmacists' attitudes.
