Abstract

Information availability, receipt, and use can vary between the contexts in which over-the-counter (OTC) medicine(s) are purchased and/or used by consumers, impacting medication safety. Limited research has explored OTC medicine information receipt and use at different points within the self-management continuum by Australian and UK consumers.
