TL;DR
Results suggest that confidence in regulation, potential savings, and impact on drug research represent plausible determinants of physician and pharmacist support of generic drugs.
Abstract
A recursive model depicting a theoretical chain between hypothesized determinants of support for generic drug practices was examined using a maximum likelihood estimation procedure, and applied to samples of 412 physicians and 118 pharmacists. Results suggest that confidence in regulation, potential savings, and impact on drug research represent plausible determinants of physician and pharmacist support of generic drugs.

This investigation found more appropriate prescribers to be younger, more recent graduates who have taken additional courses and postgraduate training, but who have had fewer years of experience in practice, maintain larger, hurried practices with more ancillary assistants, and spend less time with each patient.
