Description

This study aimed to assess the awareness and experiences of substandard and falsified (SF) medicines amongst the general public and healthcare professionals in Jordan. Low awareness of SF medicines has been reported internationally, but understanding was needed within the Jordanian context. A mixed-method approach was employed. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 350 members of the general public and healthcare professionals to gather quantitative and qualitative data on awareness, views, and reporting behaviours related to SF medicines.
