Sammanfattning
During one week in 1985, 227 general practitioners (GPs) in the county of Aarhus, Denmark, recorded all their prescriptions of psychotropic drugs, amounting to 4 180 prescriptions for 3 756 patients. There was a significantly lower rate of prescribing of psychotropic drugs by rural/small town GPs, compared with GPs in major cities. There were no differences in rate of prescribing among GPs in relation to size and type of practice, nor to the age and sex of the GP.
