We prepared patient-oriented drug information sheets for 220 drugs, which were distributed to the out-patients at 24 hospitals and clinics. The effects of providing the drug information sheets were evaluated using questionnaires not only for the patients but also for the medical staff. We received the questionnaires from 1396 patients and 88 medical staff personnel including 36 doctors, 18 pharmacists and 27 nurses. The results were as follows; 1) Fifty-four percent of the medical staff answered that the drug information sheets were effective in improving the patient-doctor relationship.Sixty-six percent of the patients answered that they had felt more at ease to communicate with the doctor and 63% of patients answered that they had come to feel that the doctor was more reliable. 2) Eighty-six percent of the medical staff answered that the drug information sheets would improve the drug compliance. In fact, they actually improved the drug compliance of the patients especially of those whose drug compliance had been poor before trial. 3) Ninety-six percent of the medical staff answered that the drug information sheets would be effective in prophylaxis or early detection of the drug adverse reactions. They helped the patients recognize an adverse reaction ; that was, 30% of the patients answered that they noticed they had suffered or were suffering from an adverse reaction of the drug. 4) Although the patients answered that the information, especially that concerning adverse reactions and the effect of a drug should be more detailed, the medical staff answered that the sheets should be simpler. The present study showed that, although beneficial effects of providing the drug information sheets with patients were recognized not only by the patients but also by the medical staffs, the evaluation of their contents by the medical staff differed from that by the patients.
