Limitations of the research • Research design • Nature of private pharmacy • Nature of the interventions • Nature of the scenarios • Number of samples
Key elements of sustainability • Policy supports • Continuity • Participation • Willingness
Policy recommendation and future research questions • Complexity in the nature • In-depth understanding is needed • Punishment has limits • Mixed-strategy is key sanctions profit safety
