在處方藥廣告尚未解禁的國家或地區(例如台灣),處方藥藥商廣告之內容受法令限制,不得揭露藥品名稱及療效,因此,藥商常以醫藥新知或健康提醒做為廣告訴求,希望引起消費者的注意,進而誘發進一步的行為。然而,這類廣告訴求能否產生效果?本研究從消費者角度,探討消費者的產品知識與涉入程度對處方藥藥商廣告效果之影響,以中部地區四所醫藥相關大學與四所傳統大學的學生為受測者,總計回收449份有效問卷。研究結果發現,產品知識與涉入程度,對處方藥藥商廣告的察覺有正向的影響,而產品涉入程度高之受測者,也對廣告訊息內容產生較正面的廣告情感態度,但產品知識對於處方藥藥商廣告之情感態度無顯著影響。

The medical firms used the appeals like ”we cared about you” or ”see your doctor” teach customers. Dose these kinds of advertisements can attract customers?
