1Department of Science and Medicine, Anti-Doping Norway, 0855 Oslo, Norway.
Objectives:
The study investigated the knowledge and awareness of anti-doping regulations among community pharmacists in Norway.
Methods:
The research employed a simulated patient methodology, involving 296 pharmacists, to assess their ability to identify prohibited substances and provide appropriate anti-doping advice.
Key Findings:
The findings reveal that 46.6% of pharmacists could identify salbutamol as a prohibited substance, with only 23.3% providing comprehensive anti-doping guidance. The study highlights a significant knowledge gap, emphasizing the need for enhanced educational programs to equip pharmacists with the necessary skills to offer effective anti-doping advice.
Conclusions:
The results underscore the critical role of community pharmacists in promoting a vigilant healthcare environment against doping in sports.
