Adolescent self-medication is common, with most using analgesics for headaches and stress. This learned behavior is linked to age and specific health complaints, not gender or knowledge.

Area of Science:

  • Adolescent Health
  • Pharmacology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Self-medication is prevalent among adolescents.
  • Understanding motivations and patterns is crucial for public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the extent and reasons behind self-medication in adolescents aged 15-20.
  • To identify factors associated with adolescent self-medication.

Main Methods:

  • A survey of 376 adolescents using questionnaires and interviews.
  • Multivariate analysis to identify associated factors.

Main Results:

  • 84% took drugs, 57% self-medicated, most commonly analgesics, vitamins, and homeopathy.
  • Indications included headaches, stress, fatigue, and mood concerns.

  • Self-medication increased with age and was linked to headaches, past dependency, and family interactions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Adolescent self-medication is a learned response to psycho-somatic distress.
    • Public health strategies and practitioner involvement are needed to optimize drug use risks and benefits.
