Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire containing, in addition to sociodemographic issues, a scale measuring knowledge about self-medication (\u03b1 = .488), a scale measuring attitudes towards self-medication (\u03b1 = .708) and questions about the patterns of self-medication practices (\u03b1 = .445). Differences between outcomes and sociodemographics were analysed through independent t-tests and ANOVA.
