Attitudes towards medication use in a general population of adolescents.

Abstract:

UNLABELLED:Adolescents are becoming more independently responsible for their medication regimen; therefore, adolescence is a crucial period to address medication beliefs, as many of the beliefs may persist into adulthood and can impair adherence and willingness to continue a prescribed therapy. Within this study, we aimed to explore adolescents' general perceptions towards medicines. Adolescent students attending secondary schools in the Netherlands were invited through the school's virtual learning environment to fill in an online questionnaire. Medication beliefs were assessed using the Beliefs About Medicines Questionnaire-General assessing general harm and general overuse beliefs. Within a 2-week period, 434 adolescent students responded to the questionnaire; 47.2 % thought that doctors overprescribed medication, and 20.5 % perceived medication as harmful in general. Being religious was associated with stronger harm (odds ratio (OR) 2.0, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.2-3.2) and overuse beliefs (OR 1.4, 95 % CI 0.9-2.1). Adolescents of native background had less concerns about overuse (OR 0.4, 95 % CI 0.2-0.8). Adolescents who actually consulted physicians had lower overuse beliefs (OR 0.6, 95 % CI 0.4-1.0). CONCLUSION:Adolescents more strongly believe in the general overuse of medicines than in general harm. Religious and ethnic background influence medication beliefs, as does previous experiences with the health-care system. Gaining more insight in adolescent patients' medication use behavior and identifying patients at risk for negative medication beliefs associated with poor adherence in clinical practice might be a first step towards a lifelong good medication use.
