Resumen

This paper describes conditional analyses of two independent variables, source type and patronage factors, and two dependent/response variables, percentage of very satisfied patrons and percentage of loyal patrons (those not changing source of prescriptions durmg the prior five years). Various types of relationships and variables are described and applied to these data. The data were obtained by a mail survey of 3,000 households which yielded 1,248 (42%) usable responses. The relationships were primarily of the asymmetric type. The two independent variables did not meet the test for intervening or antecedent status; however, patronage factors functioned as facilitating variables for source type, and they were necessary conditions for much of the influence source type exerted on the response variables. The relative strengths and the cumulative effects of the independent variables were assessed.
