      <Abstract>Patient medication counseling uses various communication media to optimize patientcentered pharmaceutical care. However, studies on assessing patients’ preferences for these communication media and their predictors have been limited nationally and globally. Hence, this study aimed to determine outpatients’ preference for patient counseling communication media at the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH). It employed a descriptive, correlational design and purposive sampling technique among adult Filipino outpatients in UP-PGH pharmacies. A total of 159 respondents participated in the study.

Overall, face-to-face was the most preferred communication medium. Among the studied variables, education (p=.035, adj R2 =0.22) significantly predicted preference for text messaging. Age (p=.008, adj R2=0.038), knowledge score (p=.007, adj R2=0.075), and residence (p=.035, adj R2=0.096) predicted preference for telephone medium. Age (p=.001, adj R2 =0.142), education (p</Abstract>
