& Comments:
About 60 percent
of spending on prescriptions and medical supplies is within the county. About 49 percent of the respondents
purchase over 80 percent of their prescriptions within the county. There is a great amount of purchasing
being done outside the county with about 20 percent responding that they do 0
to 20 percent of their prescription purchases within the county.
Those employed
outside the county have a lower percentage of prescription and medical supply
spending within the county than others.
The percentage difference is about ten percent less. This difference is not statistically
significant.
There are large
differences is spending percentages across the county. Those living in Long Beach, Glenwood,
Starbuck, and Sedan have the highest local spending percentages. Those living in Cyrus, Villard, and
Lowry have the lowest.
Advertising does
not seem to be very important to spending more in the county, but expanded
hours does seem to be a factor that might influence more spending within the
county. This seems to be
particularly true for those currently spending between 40 and 80 percent within
the county. Thus, those that have
the opportunity to spend more in the county do mention hours and convenience as
a factor that might influence them to spend more within the county.
Good, helpful
service is clearly an important factor in spending more locally on
prescriptions.
