在墨西哥一年内至少有超过3000万人自行购药治病,本文应用墨西哥健康与老年研究(MHAS)对50岁及以上人口的调查数据,使用logistic回归分析自我药物疗法有关的因素。墨西哥大致每八名50岁及以上年龄成年人中就有一个在调查的前一年内咨询过药剂师。相对来说,享有政府保险的人不太相信自我药物疗法。采取自我药物疗法的人学历较低、收入更少和积累资产少,并且可能居住在乡村,而且更可能的是没有投保。从美国回归的移民更可能采取自我药物疗法。因而,自我药物疗法与社会经济状态和缺少接受正规专业医疗保健服务的机会有明显关系。增加接受卫生保健的机会可以减少自我药物疗法行为。
In Mexico, at least more than 30 million people buy their own medicine within a year. This article uses logistic regression to analyze factors related to self-medication using data from the Mexican Health and Elderly Study (MHAS) for people aged 50 and over. In Mexico, roughly one in eight adults aged 50 and over consulted a pharmacist in the year prior to the survey. Relatively speaking, people who enjoy government insurance do not trust self-medication. People who take self-medication are less educated, earn less and have less accumulated assets, and may live in the country, and more likely do not have coverage. Immigrants returning from the United States are more likely to adopt self-medication. Thus, there is a clear relationship between self-medication and socioeconomic status and the lack of access to formal professional health care services. Increasing access to health care can reduce self-medication.
