The associated average OOP spending was JD17.7, significantly lower than for other outpatient healthcare facilities (JD 24.8). Among predisposing characteristics, females were more inclined to visit a pharmacy compared to males (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.16; 95% CI: 1.02\u20131.33). Positive enabling factor included residing in northern (AOR: 1.85; 95% CI: 1.19\u20132.87) or southern regions (AOR: 3.66; 95% CI: 1.57\u20138.56) compared to center regions of Jordan. The cost of transportation was a negative enabling factor (AOR: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.15\u20130.40). Significant need factors that increased the odds of visiting a pharmacy included seeking care for fever\/diarrhea (AOR: 1.99; 95% CI: 1.04\u20133.80). Preventive care\/vaccination (AOR: 0.18; 95% CI: 0.05\u20130.68) decreased the odds of visiting a pharmacy.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The geographical location of a pharmacy, as indicated by transportation costs and region, significantly influences visiting patterns. Pharmacies appeared to be convenient and accessible for managing minor ailments and they offer significant potential for cost savings. To enhance pharmacies\u2019 contribution to public health, the integration of new services is strongly recommended.<\/jats:p>\n
