本研究的目的是描述在何种程度上抗生素和非抗生素药物常用于上呼吸道感染（URI）的城市居住的拉丁美洲人的样本，并与抗生素的使用和自我药疗的药物识别正确识别。100名女性完成了一次访谈，并被要求确定39种药物（17种抗生素，22种非抗生素）是否是抗生素，家庭中是否有人使用过这种药物，他们的年龄以及药物的来源。总体而言，参与者正确识别了62%的非抗生素和34%的抗生素。研究中有73名（73%）妇女报告在过去一年中至少有一名家庭成员使用抗生素。在使用者中，67.2%的成人抗生素使用者报告了自我用药，但只有2.4%的儿童使用者报告了自我用药。自我用药者和未自我用药者对抗生素的认知没有差异，但抗生素自我用药与对非抗生素的认知显著降低相关（p = 0.01）。改善抗生素使用的措施应解决自我药疗问题，并考虑抗生素使用的文化和社会背景。
The purpose of this study was to describe the extent to which antibiotic and nonantibiotic medications commonly used for upper respiratory infections (URIs) were correctly identified by a sample of urban dwelling Latinas and the association of medication identification with antibiotic use and self-medication. One hundred women completed an interview and were asked to identify whether a list of 39 medications (17 antibiotics, 22 nonantibiotics) were antibiotics or not, whether anyone in the household had used the medication, their ages, and the source of the medication. Overall, participants correctly identified 62% of nonantibiotics and 34% of antibiotics. Seventy three (73%) women in the study reported antibiotic use by at least one member of the household in the past year. Among users, self-medication was reported in 67.2% of antibiotics for adults, but in only 2.4% of children. There was no difference in antibiotic recognition between those who self-medicated and those who did not, but antibiotic self-medication was associated with a significantly lower recognition of nonantibiotics (p = .01). Measures to improve antibiotic utilization should address self-medication and consider the cultural and social context in which antibiotic use occurs.
