We designed this project to determine community pharmacists' opinions regarding the challenges and motivations of their recent participation in a pharmacy practice-based research study. At the conclusion of a randomized, multicenter study, 87 community pharmacist-investigators were sent a questionnaire that explored four areas: motivating factors to participate, barriers to participation, communication tools used by study coordinators, and design issues for future studies. Fifty-eight (67%) completed questionnaires were returned. Key factors motivating participation in the study were desire to improve the profession and opportunity to learn. Time was the greatest barrier to participation. Pharmacy practice-based research has two distinct advantages. First, it translates clinical knowledge into direct application in the community. Second, it provides needed data to demonstrate the value of enhanced pharmacy practice. Thorough understanding of pharmacists' opinions is necessary to optimize the design of future studies.
