We carried out a campaign to encourage return of medicines stored in private homes. 248 out of 1,512 households in our district returned average ten containers of drugs. 90% of these had been opened before return. Three out of four containers were outdated. A questionnaire was sent to all 1,512 households. 33% responded. All but six households kept medicines at home. An average of nine products were stored in each home. Half of the products were non-prescription drugs. Half of the households had medicine cabinets. The kitchen was the room most often used to store medicines. We discuss various efforts to achieve more simple return of unwanted drugs. We must emphasize the need to store medicines at home in a safe place.
我们开展了一项活动，鼓励归还储存在私人住宅中的药品。我们所在地区的1512户家庭中，有248户归还了平均10盒药品。其中90%在归还前已开封。四分之三的药品已过期。我们向所有1512户家庭发送了问卷。33%的家庭进行了回复。除了6户家庭外，其他家庭都在家中存放药品。每户家庭平均存放9种药品。一半的药品为非处方药。一半的家庭有药柜。厨房是最常用来存放药品的房间。我们讨论了为更简便地归还不需要的药品所做的各种努力。我们必须强调在家中安全存放药品的必要性。
