Background

Scope and content:

The John A. Owen, Jr. Papers consist of 15 boxes of archival material including letters, research notes, and documentation, and other items which reflect his professional activities from 1951-1995. The materials especially focus on diabetes, obesity, and endocrinology research; the relationship between pharmaceutical companies and physicians; federal regulations on prescription writing; and pharmacist-physician interaction. This collection is of special interest to scholars interested in the University of Virginia's clinical investigation during the 1960s-70s on diabetes and endocrinology; the relationship between pharmaceutical companies (and other organizations sponsoring basic research) and physicians; the effect of and response to federal legislation of the early 1970s which regulated prescription writing; the role of the pharmacist and their relationship to the physician; the interaction of the University of Virginia's department of medicine with the hospital's lab/pathology department; and the use of free samples from drug companies.
